I have a 1972 1.7 that I’m restoring. One of the areas that I can’t find any information on is how the door hinges were originally finished. Mine have been sprayed over several times and when I repaint I want it to look right.
Were the hinges painted to the same color of the car? What about the bolts and pins. We’re they painted or zinc/cadmium plated. I ran my bolts through my ultrasonic cleaner and it appears they are black underneath the layers of paint. Does anyone have an original picture of how it was finished from the factory? |

I'll add to the mysteries... Factory -6, I've had it since 1977 and don't remember ever having the door off or touching up this area. Both pins are painted and it looks like the exposed shaft is also. Do you have green overspray on your rubber seal. It’s hard to tell but if you do, that area was touched up at one point. My friend worked at a Mercedes dealer touching up and doing repairs to brand new cars that came in for sale. There were always enough new cars to keep him busy. |
