Call me crazy or loony, but I have committed to restore my dad's and fix up mine. Some assistance from in laws and good deals, hopefully will allow me to enjoy shifting without thinking of breaking something.
My dad's is red while mine is black. Both from 1974 2.0. Attached image(s) |

You probably want this post in the Garage Forum to introduce yourself & 914s.
Nice Double Project! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |

You may want to look at Appbiz.com for door panels, which have metal at the top instead of fiber board. Not original, but better, for about $200 something for the pair. Just bought a trunk carpet from the guy, Bob, who advertises his sets on EBay, and he suggested the door panels as I was on the phone with him. Looked at them (the door panels) in his EBay store. They look good. I have no need, but apparently you do.
Good luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge6.gif) |

Crazy or loony is a requirement to own a 914 and be on this web site. It's actually helpful to be a little of both. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)

You need to familiarize yourself with 914Rubber.com. Mark (Mikey914) makes fiberglass replacements either fully upholstered or just the fiberglass. He should probably be your number 1 source for many things in your restoration... |

Looks like pretty good starting points. Was your dad's car a local car or a recent purchase. I seem to remember a black 914 sitting years ago off Pinhook/Tuerlings.

So the black was recently purchased in Arkansas, may have been in La at one time. The red one was bought 10 years ago in Houston from a New Jersey man, who kept all original.
Thanks to all welcoming. Hope to discuss the rebuilding timeline. |
