Original, or not?, a '70/4 inspection, trying something new and/or different Options

[1970 Neun vierzehn]

This site has gotten a little too quiet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif) for my liking, so in an unselfish (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) attempt to liven things up, I thought a different perspective on originality might be in order.

The idea for this thread came about from viewing eBay posts calling attention to a particular 914 and the resultant comments (some rather blistering) with regard to the alleged,implied, or stated originality/authenticity of aforementioned vehicle.

Being the second owner of this 1970/4 for the past 37 years, and for the most part having kept it true to factory spec and appearance during this period, I think a thread inviting interested Forum members to point out discrepencies and alterations from OEM might make for some interesting viewing and reading.
This is not an invitation to pick nits about cleanliness or color preferences or my "taste" in what I've changed from stock. It is an invite, however to find what I changed, or "improved". Some mods will be very obvious, others, I will be surprised if they will be noticed at all.

Hopefully, if this thread prospers, we will see other members post their specific OEM (or almost OEM) model years for close scrutiny.

I shall post photos of a specific area on the car until all comments and observations noting the anomilies are accounted for.

Remember, this is a 1970, 1.7, build date January 1970.
