I purchased my 72 914 from the owner of a body shop back in February of 2016. This is what it looked like when I paid for it:

Prior to my purchase, owner had already acquired factory AC parts and started to install fiberglass body kit including fender flares. I opted to pay owner to finish the body and paint work prior to delivery. |

Car is back together and on the road. Compared to my subaru powered 71 914, this 1.7L motor is a dog. Really needs more HP. I've got the car for sale so that I can focus on the 71, but if no one grabs it, I may sell the 71 instead and move forward with subaru coversion on this car. I've already got an engine and trans for it...
I've also started to do some of the detail work on this 72. I installed wiper blades, stereo, and now working on window seals. 914Rubber provided the product and Mikey has a good write up on how to do it. But what a PITA some of these pieces (like the triangle seals) are.
