QUOTE(rick 918-S @ Sep 30 2016, 10:24 AM)  There is some photos here. I think start on page 2. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/assimilate.gif) 7 of 9. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=104128&hl= FYI> The easiest way is to leave the bucket including the drain tube attached to the front panel. Otherwise your aligning too many parts without factory jigs to hold the pieces. I'm about to start trimming the donor nose section. My car is a 72, the donor is a 73. This means that the 73 section has the added corner braces in the nose. I had in mind to remove these and utilize only the parts that matched my 72. Am I correct in my thinking? I realize that if I leave them "as is" and install the section in the car, somebody in the future may take a peek in the trunk and notice they aren't correct for the year. This might also scream "crash repair" to someone knowledgeable. On the other hand, I sort of like the additional bracing plus the trunk floor sits so nicely on them vs the way it sits in the 72. I probably know what I SHOULD do... Any thoughts on this?  |

I would just ask if you are building a Concours car or a just nice driver. If it is going to be a driver, I would leave the '73 front clip as is - I also like the added support. Also, you have documented the front clip replacement (as Scotty did on my car) and that is a part of the cars history now. It's not like you are ever going to represent the car has never had any panel replacement/body work. The more important fact, at least for me, is that it is done correctly. That looks like a nice clean clip too.

This was my dad's car so I never plan to sell it. Eventually, it'll pass to one of my kids, God willing. I guess I'm just wondering if even a well done repair like I'm planning could hurt the car's value--presuming 914 prices continue to climb.

Expecting a 40 year old car to have never had rust or seen an accident is a pipe dream. The only thing that really counts is the quality of the repair. A high quality repair detracts little to no value whereas a poor quality one can detract thousands or make the car worthless.
