Today I got out in the garage and installed the harness bar and harness. Last week I replaced the seats. The ones that I bought for the car were cool, but the way they sat on the rails made them very hard to see out.

Yep.. all the way against the front stop. Makes it easy to find the correct adjustment point, and I get extra storage space behind the driver's seat.


Tall people have LESS storage space inside a 914. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif)

But a sudden application of the brakes and all that :shit: you have stored under your knees ends up under the pedals.

Therefore......... shorter people are safer drivers!!

And your odometer reads 137322

Which conveniently is
-(1-3)+7 = 9
(3-2) = 1
2 = 2

I paid 20.00 for the whole 912 steering column with the wheel and horn button out of a local wrecking yard.


Oh.. and you missed the white pointer. It points at the 6. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

In Fort Worth there is a wrecking yard that occasionally gets some Porsche stuff. I happened to be there when the 912 came in. But that was years ago.

All Import on Elliot Reeder road.


BTW.. are you coming to Talahina?

You got Betty started. Now she wants me to put glowing lights under the car so I can look like "Tron". (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

They are Koenig 914 seats. They are not for people with wide hips. I am a short, skinny little ba$tard, and I fit snugly in the seats.

If they had fit the tracks better, I would have kept them. But I couldn't see out the right rear sitting in the car.

Dude, you'd have to grow like 16 inches to be Tron!

Besides, I think those early 80s Trans-Am seat covers are very retro! If you like them... good for you! Don't listen to what other people say!
