Hi everybody!
Not only is this my first post, but the 914 is also my first car. I'm 14 and I recently purchased my '75 1.8 in December after saving up since I was 10. It was well worth the mowing lawns, pet sitting, and birdhouse building. So far I've been working on it with my dad and we've: -replaced motor mounts -replaced transmission mounts -replaced pushrod tubes and gaskets -replaced tie-rods -replaced steering rack and torn boot -valve adjustment, tune up -replaced steeleys with Fuchs -sourced emblems and other cosmetic work Still things to be done but really excited to be part of the great teener community!

My seats are plaid but I don't think they're original. I'm searching for decent seats because I think my mom can do the fabric upholstery. I'm looking for the ski blue but might do houndstooth. |

Milo, any chance you could post a picture of your seat fabric. I can tell you right away if it is original. Mine were originally plaid also, but recovered many years ago. I have been searching for years to find another car like mine to see which of the blue plaids mine should have. Mark Whitesell (Mikey914) is working with another vendor here to reproduce plaid seat covers, so you may want to hold off until he has those available. Thanks, Ken |
