>>But if I don't leave a hacksawed radiator shroud, cardboard/duct tape defrost vent connection and occasional use of twine as a hose hanger, what will the next generation of C3 owners have to send pictures and comment about<<

I bought a 75 once that had rubber tubes from the headlights to the drivers side seat. The previous owner could not get the headlights to raise or lower so he would blow on the appropriate tube to raise or lower his lights.....Long live Bubba

Yeah, I got a couple different cars for daily transportation. There's no way to carry out the type of repairs this car's required with the engine installed. It's on a stand, I'm about to start the reassembly anytime.
