Posted by: emerygt350 Dec 13 2021, 07:10 AM
I can't believe this would have come with the car. I was looking for a replacement regulator (found!) In the box o spare parts that came with the car and found this skanky vinyl bag. Any ideas?

Stash bag. Fill it with tools, on top of a nickel bag. Was the 70's afterall.

That is an original early 914 tool bag '70-'71. Same as the VW tool bags back then.

It sure could have. Wife picked it up at a flea market. I rebuild/build guitars when I can't work on the 914.

VW made these from seat cover scraps, waste not want not.
Better than the cheap ass black plastic tool bag in my '74.

That sounds fun! Do you prefer acoustic or electric? Do you carve your own wood and make from scratch? Somehow is just seems natural that a luthier goes hand in hand with restoring 914s.

I mostly restore acoustics (just more available) and build the electrics. I buy blanks from a couple of places and necks from warmoth, do the sanding, assembly, and nitro finish etc myself.
Here is a 1947 harmony I rebuilt from trash.
