I bought one of 914 rubbers plastic backpad. I then took it to PMB to have it redone.
The results are as follows, I'm very pleased. Thank you 914 rubber, PMB and Dale Hancock for the excellent work.

Wow that's nice1

That does look good, Jim. Mind if I ask the cost as I have that kit also but..............I'm not sure if I want to goof it up.

Great looking Jim , Both PMB and 91; Rubber have made owning a 914 a lot easier. Your car already looked like new too.

Cool!

Looks great! I am in Brigham City. Have a '73, 1.8 914. Can you suggest rustoration body shops? Need work on the hell hole and rocker panels. Also, any swap meets, Porsche shows locally? I feel like I have the only Signal Orange stock car in the Intermountain Region. Thank you,
Chip

How were the 3 panels fastened together? Looks like pop rivets.

Usually screws and tinnerman nuts. The plastic is thick enough you wouldn't have to use the tinnerman but it's more durable if you do.

I transferred the pronged nuts over from my original backpad. The prongs on the nuts don't like to stay put in the plastic so used some glue before pressing them into the plastic. Otherwise, they tend to pop out when you try to screw the pieces together. The tinnerman nuts that clip from the edges would be better. I was able to screw the pieces together more tightly with the nuts than just screwing into the plastic, but like Mark says, not really necessary as the plastic is pretty strong.

any other suggestions on this project? I will be trying to do this soon.
My original foam is in good shape, still on the original back boards. the vinyl was bad but the rest is pretty good condition. I am trying to decide whether to use the original back boards or the fiberglass ones I have had in the car that were wrapped with thin pad and vinyl. -what adhesive, will the 3M 90 work ?? or contact cement?

thanks for the help - btw that looks awesome! can you tell us how or who did the embossed car outline?
