Hi everyone.
I just bought my first 914 (I'm a 911 guy) Its a 1975 914 2.0 Laguna Blue. it has 139k miles,all books and records and I am the 3rd owner. It had a bad fuel pump relay,luckily.or the very bad gas in the tank may have been pumped thru.... I have the tank out being cleaned,while I wait for new fuel hose,filters and misc parts. heres a pic as found,a real "Car-Port Find" |

Please tell me that it has plaid seats under the sheepskin! I also have a '75 1.8 in laguna blue, in nearly the condition of yours. Mine came with plaid seats that were recovered long ago, and I would really love to see what the originals look like. Nobody has ever been able to produce a picture.
Thanks, Ken |

The euro cloth seat on ebay is amazing ! Is anyone reproducing that fabric ? I have searched long and hard for anyone with original blue fabric, and this is the only original example that I have ever seen (thanks, Dave!). SMS Auto Fabrics will reproduce it if I provide a sample, and I am seriously thinking about buying the cushion on ebay (even at the outrageous buy it now price) and having them reproduce the fabric. The only problem is that there were two blue plaids offered in '75, and the one on ebay is my least favorite. |
