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? |

looking closely at blue six on previous page it looks like blue paint around edges of top of pin. as if it was painted all over but perhaps has had pins driven out or paint has come off tops of pins. maybe the 6s were all painted originally? i had a look back over stuff i have collected for 1.8 research. some of examples were original condition cars. all have the unpainted pin but painted bolts. if the pins on mine had been painted there would be a trace somewhere. nothing there. mystery of the 914 again? or......early cars (4s and 6s) got painted pins? |

or......early cars (4s and 6s) got painted pins? That's my hunch. My '70 /4 had the original signal orange painted over the pins. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
