Auto Atlanta sells it...but I haven't had the best experience with them on some orders....
So....looking for known good sources of a upholstery kit for the seats and a carpet kit. Thanks! John |

QUOTE(shuie @ Apr 18 2013, 11:29 AM)  Autos International in Escondido, CA Will they just sell the components or do they have to do the work? It isn't obvious from their website: www.porschetopsandinteriors.net |

The 2nd sentence on the homepage says they offer the interiors in kit form for the DIY'er.
Call them and talk to someone about your project. They are the best in the business. I suspect they will sell you anything you could want or need for your interior. |

QUOTE(shuie @ Apr 18 2013, 11:29 AM) Autos International in Escondido, CA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I got the raw material from them at a decent price and found someone local to sew it all together. My '71 had the black corduroy originally but $200 per yard was a bit steep for me. I ended up with Bedford which gives the look of corduroy but for less than $30 per yard. I think it turned out great.   |

I also had Auto's International provide their kit for my seats, and they look great. I did have them use the corduroy seat surfaces for the kits, and couldn't be happier with the results.
I'd also recommend giving them a call and talk to them. |

I got mine from these guys:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PORSCHE-914-FRONT-...0dc&vxp=mtr very happy with the quality of the material and the fit. I put it on myself, and it came out pretty good, I have a thread that has a bunch of pictures on the installation, and there is one in the classics thread as well. I purchased my Carpet kit from 914Rubber.com, I have not installed it yet, but the quality looks very good, and I'll post pics once its installed. Turk |
