Making a little progress, Thought I'd share some pics Options

Slowly and steadily I'm making progress and learning a lot on the way! So far things are going together very well. There's a lot of details to pay attention to in the dash and under the cowl area!!

Did you end up sourcing all new "old stock" parts or did you clean up originals? Or did you rebuild originals?

All of the above. I've collected parts from several cars. I sort through the parts and look for the best ones to use. If I can find a part that will clean up and look great I'll use it. If I can't find a part that looks and works great, I buy the one I need. (I've spent much $$$ at GPR -which is a great place to get 914 parts!)

I spend a lot of time cleaning and preping pretty much every part to get it like I want it to look.

Heres an example pic. I had the gas tank strap powder coated with the last batch of parts. I sorted through 4 or 5 other straps to find the best plated hardware parts that tighten the strap. Glue on the best pads that i had and get new hardware for the installation. It takes some planning and some time but makes for a nice outcome.

I disassembled the best license plate light assemblies that I had. Cleaned them well and replaced the bulbs. -good to go.
