Thanks Claus and Mark.

Yesterday evening had had a bit of free time and pulled off the interior door panels. A fairly routine job. All the securing screws came out without to much trouble. The window regulator handles appear to be OEM. Although the door panel coverings and backing material is in poor shape, the door handle/storage pieces are in decent condition. Once I got the panels off the rust was apparent at the bottom of both doors. Again, a case of rust preventive treatment on the inside that has dried, cracked and captured the moisture. I noted the difference from my '73 to these '76 doors in the side impact reinforcing members inside the door. I did not see a major difference in the window regulator mechanism but that might be more apparent when I pull those. Is there a physical difference in the door size from early to late 914? Can early doors be easily be put on a late car? Re-building these doors may be more trouble than just finding a set of decent early doors. That would certainly save some weight should this become another race car
