So...
I did something stupid today climbing into the 914. I leaned on the center box thing with my elbow and put a nice rip in the vinyl covering the padded top of the box. Does anybody have any suggestions how to reupholster/repair/replace the box top? I didn't see anything on 914rubber and AA just had complete new boxes for $200. Thanks. |

Is it ok to redo all leather instead of vinyl? I've not searched but seems most replacement upholstery are cloth or vinyl to keep factory correct. It sure would last alot longer if the car has been rebuilt.

I intend to migrate mine to all leather eventually but I'm not starting with a nice orginal car either. There have been some really nice cars on this forum done in leather. Keeps me inspired. @Not_a_six Sorry for being a smart alec about the duct tape. Honestly -- my car came with standard silver duct tape on the back pad so that's what made me post the comment! Glad to see Brent chimed in - he got the conversation back on track. |
