Finally a chance to get in the garage and get my 914 ready for the next autocross season. This car is being built on a very tight budget. Many of the parts are being fabricated by myself. When i finish my homemade front anti-sway bar i will post a complete set of pictures of the build. In the meantime i made a lot of progress on other things. The first order of business was to groove and regrease all my badly creaking suspension bushings.

After upholstering, I hope the "waves" in the top folded part even out with time. My mistake was gluing the vinyl of this portion to the padding underneath. For future reference leave the padding "sit" inside the vinyl flap so it is not distorted by the pinched vinyl underneath. The handle is simply an overhead handle on a saturn parts car I have around. I covered the handle portion with vinyl and painted the end caps. These panels turned out much better than I expected, this was the first time I’ve done door panels.
