Here's a pic of the car: Milo, great looking car (I wish my first car looked that good!). Is that blue sky in Seattle? I thought that wasn't possible?? Welcome to forum, and keep us up to date on all the work you do on your car. Turk Haha. Don't worry, the day after this it started raining so everything's back to normal. I'll keep posting on all the work I do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) |

Just put a new set of tires today on the Fuchs. The Bridgestones are a noticeable and needed improvement on the old ones...they were from 1990!!

My car is pretty much identical to yours, except I have Mahles instead of Fuchs. Your seats aren't plaid by any chance? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Hey, thanks! 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 |

Thanks, Milo. You are correct - that is not original.
Here are a couple of threads to get a feel for what you are looking for if you want to keep it original. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=1755636 And, finally an actual picture of the real deal... http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=207022 |
