914 badge seems wrong ...shouldnt it read 1.7?


the early cars were badged "914" or "914-6" ... no further specification was nescessary

with the introduction of the 2-Liter they started to use badges "914 1.7" and "914 2.0" (and later "914 1.8")

The car never had them @ delivery. Later photos will also illustrate an absence of certain things.

It is rust free now, has been repainted to OEM color (L11E, Canary yellow), and I don't know what you'd call what I had done....a restoration, a sympathetic restoration, a refurbishment, a resurrection, a re-freshening? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

This is what it looked like before........

as there wasn't really all that much in the rear trunk with the only concern dealing with the rubber caps that were never there to begin with, let's go to the other end of the car and look inside the front lid.

please disregard the foam pieces under the spare......they are there to keep the rubber from marring and staining the paint.

always thought that's what those threaded spots were for, as there really isn't any room in the tool roll for it.

The seam sealer around the rear shock towers does not look original. It should have been sprayed on, not brushed.

I agree. Contrary to Dr. Johnson's book, they were added at least a year later or more. Mine did not come with it. Many photo's of the day show the tops of the threaded shocks without the rubber cap. However, they do tidy up the trunk.

Also, note the correct position for installing the jack.
