are the 72 & 74 914 are they the same body style is there any difference between them?
Yes, Good Doctor, the bodies are "similar", but not the same structurally. And I think that prospect needs to be made certain for the newbie.
The front trunk interior structural assy is very different from 1973 on. Put a front clip from a 74 on a 72 & you will have a real problem with originality!
Also the 75/76 models had different bracing for the front lid. Trying to make a 72 bumper fit a 75/76 body is possible, but not without some major channel work.
Not trying to be disruptive, but the newbie needs to know that there ARE differences below the skin. You can't just graft these cars willy-nilly, though that may not me the intent of the poster - but I wonder!?
