Just figured that I'd let you all know that I'll be writing about my experiences as a 914 owner over on Kinja. I thought that this wasn't really the place to do it, but figured I'd share a link once for those that maybe can relate. Only one post in, but maybe you'll enjoy it.

Well written .... & yes, you can do those things on here, but without the whizz-bang tags & such.
Interesting choice - the 75-76 Tartan on a 74, but it's yours to make yours! And that red tartan which Mark sells looks the same as or exceedingly close to the one available in the day on 914s & VWs (same fabric then for both). Take it out for some car events for fun, even if only for display vs. judging! Everyone in the Porsche-world seems to love seeing a nice one nowadays! Cheers!

I figured the seats would be easy enough to change back should someone, someday, want to really restore it back to original. I liked the look, so went with it. I will definitely be taking it out once I'm back home (and it's back with me). I've promised my wife rides and smiles! |

Tom,
Those Tartan seats were an option on the 1974. I purchased my 74 1.8 in 1979 from the original owner purchased from a dealer in Lancaster , Ca. The Tartan red plaid seats were installed. Since been replace, but I am in process of re-doing in red Tartan. Just my 2 cents. |

Hi Brian,
Good to see you are enjoying your car and I hope you are well. It has been fun tracking your 914 adventure. Build the car to your taste and drive the snot out of it. Do not give it a second thought. |

I still have a couple of weeks until I'm back home to enjoy the car - trying to help make this new business successful - but I'll be trying to share thoughts as I go and hopefully learn some cool stuff. |
