Hey guys,
As I move through various projects in the car, i'm getting closer to re-doing the seats. I have re-upholstered seats in the past so i'm thinking of taking a stab at this myself but am open to someone local also (Pacific Northwest). I'm having a hard time sourcing the covers for my 1970 (Fixed Passenger side). I came across these guys but doesn't seem like they have everything I need. http://www.aaaupholster.com/porsche-914.html Any suggestions? Thanks everyone! Hope you guys had a good holiday! (Santa brought me new Sun Visors and a Carpet Kit!) |

Could have been switched in the last 50 years. Takes 20 minutes to switch out the seats and backpad.
What do the door cards look like? |

Most ‘70 door cards were 2 piece but there was never an exact point where these cars transitioned from one year to the next. VW and Porsche would take parts off the shelf for installation until they were gone and then use the new stuff. Dealers would also swap interiors and wheels on the lot to suit a buyers preference. You can definitely use your existing back pad and seat for the reupholster. |
