Hi all. I've been a member a while though not the most active one.

I'm doing a frame-off restoration on a 76 and I've been on the fence for a while now about whether or not to keep what I think was a sales floor add on to the car.

The project car had side trim on it when I bought it and it looks like it's been there since day one.

Would you keep it or not?


Here is a pic of the type of trim I'm talking about. The car isn't a 914 obviously but the trim is very similar.


Thanks
