Finally got my 72 Bavaria photo worthy. I can list all that has been done but suffice it to say, been 300 hours of my time, don't know how much sheet metal, having to travel to other states for re-chroming (thanks to Ma law putting EVERY rechrome place out of business), countless parts from Germany and parts and insight from many of you. I finished up with adding a sway bar to the rear (big difference), Petronix unit, Zenith rebuild and some Kingsborne 8MM wires. Only thing left is tightening up the steering box and getting the AC up and running.
Three years and 300 hours later

I had one in 1981, one of the best cars I ever owned, mine was a 4 sp, polaris, and so much fun to drive- would love to find another-some day! I'm sure you are pleased with her-she is elegant!
