I am in the process of restoring my 914 and I've run into a few problems some of you may have experience with:
1) Can anyone tell me their experiences of steel vs. fiberglass outer rocker panels? Steel seem to be harder to find, but should I keep on looking or purchase fiberglass ones? 2) Struts - If I opt for the cheaper Boge struts vs. Bilstein/Koni's, to what extent will I compromise performance? Are the Bilstein/Koni's well worth the extra money? 3) Do you recommend a place to purchase the rear trunk floor plan for a reasonable price? How about interior carpeting? Thanks again for any help you can provide! Evan |

Note that many of the mail-order outfits sell RD repro parts for the same price that RD does. Including the one I work for. (Who also sells carpets and rocker panels--one stop shopping!!)
