Forever working on my rebuild specs....and waiting for it to cool down a little in AZ.
I have noticed in several various photos of 914's that I see on occasion that people have removed or do not have any of that vinyl on the sides of the targa "roll bar". I assume that this has been removed for a couple of reasons: 1. Personal preference 2. The fight against rust (my rebuild project has some under there) 3. It didn't come with it originally (???) Anyways, if you were rebuilding a 914, would you put it back on or just leave the body color paint there? I plan on having the vinyl piece across the top however. Thanks, boxsterfan |

No sail vinyl is very stock on the early cars ('70-71 for sure, maybe '72 also). I bought a new '70 and remember it well. The standard car came with body color sail panels, bumpers and roll bar trim. If you ordered the extra cost "appearance group" you got chrome bumpers, bright trim on rear of roll bar, vinyl and trim on sail panels, plus fog lights. My totally original "standard" model '71 is shown below (It is for sale, shameless plug).
