Hello everyone just wanted to introduce myself! Saw a lot of information from this site and thought I would join. I recently have purchased a 72 914 with a 1.7. Car was in decent shape on outside non running and interior was missing. I am looking to fix this car up to be a nice drivers car. New battery and plugs car is running still needs a tune.
When researching the prices of some items I was wondering if I could gets parts from another car that would help lower costs. The car did come with two rough seats that are beige and the backing that goes with them which is rough itself. It also has inner door trim beige as well. I would I like to convert the car to a black interior as I am sticking with a white(exterior) on black theme. Things I do need is an ebrake cable and handle. Has anyone used this from another car that was cheaper? Also seat belts. Has anyone used just generic seat belts from eBay or another car? Now seem to be $500 Rear rubber padding that is not $300? Arm rests from another car? Also a good place to buy front rear and side skirts? Does not have to be NOS. If some fabrication is required that is not a problem as I have a welder Thank you in advance, Stack |

It may take a little time to find the parts you are looking for, but all of them are available either from the classifieds here or other sources mentioned. You may be able to have your back pad recovered at a local upholstery shop if it's not damaged. I had the driver's end bolster of mine recovered and, while not a perfect match to the original vinyl, it's close enough for a driver. If you don't want the tan interior, someone may be interested in buying it from you, depending on the condition. Tan isn't as common as black. Post some pictures of your car inside and out for advice about what and how to fix it up. |
