'73 Restoration begins, Let the fun begin! Options

[Morph914]

Finally got my shop to the point where I can proceed with the restoration of my '73/74... The car is a '73 but the front clip is '74, therefore it will be registered as a '74. I purchased this car from one of the well known members here, Chris ( tygaboy) in nor cal. This car had apparently been sitting in a garage for over 25 years before Chris bought it.
I don't know what possessed me to buy a car that was not running and and had many of its parts in boxes. More than likely, it was meeting Chris, seeing his shop and the work he does, and the work he had already done on the car... It just felt right! Chris said the car was straight after he and a racing buddy took several measurements. Good enough for me!
As I start the tear down, I realize how fortunate I am to have this practically rust free car to restore. I plan on restoring the car to a good driver quality. It currently has 1.7 complete with the D-jet system. I want to build a big 4 for now, with plans in the future to swap in an air cooled 6.
I have nowhere near the skill set that Chris has, so you will not be seeing the magic that he performs on this thread. I plan on using your collective wealth of knowledge to help me navigate these unfamiliar waters that are the 914!
Please bare with me as I post pictures and navigate the process of building and adding to this thread.

Let the fun begin!

Interior in excellent original condition.

Chris already removed the vast amounts of seam sealer and other goop.
Longs already reinforced courtesy of Sir Chris. Front half of floors replaced as well.
Happy to see no rust after removing the vinyl!
