Is this worth buying from Auto Atlanta? I have never purchased from them. I will be putting my car back together after completely stripping it for paint.

Thanks

Looks like a complete kit for the interior , rockers and valances. Can you get it elsewhere?

Would be nice to include sail trim hardware too!

Probably a 200% profit item for George, but he did the work to put it together. I can't take that away from him. However, for that price, it should be absolutely factory correct.

He is known for a lot of things, but producing the highest quality product for a fair price is not one of them.

I will guarantee you that the plating will not be the correct color.
If that doesn't bother you....then buy it.
You'll pay more than you need to as well.

Well, I just bought one off ebay. I think it is worth having nice new hardware. Better than trying to put this together myself.

I'm not one of his fans, in fact do my best to steer clear of him, and I have no doubt that they're not always correct though I bought the three box set and I was very happy to have the kit as I stripped the car down to bare metal and as I put it all back together it was so nice to just look up which screw, nut, or washers I wanted for the entire car inside, bumpers, lights everything for me it was a big Plus to not have to run around looking for the correct little nut, screw or washer. Must keep in mind my car was ment to be for me or to me a very nice driver, not a concourse showpiece, I've had concourse showpiece cars before and I'm afraid to take them anywhere let alone drive the piss out of them so for me is a big plus.
Oh just in case as I replaced each pice I saved the old one in its place back into the box, a true hoarder I guess!

I steer clear of Auto Atlanta for reasons I won't elaborate on.

Download the PET from Porsche and you'll be able to buy the fasteners yourself for much less.

I've wondered about this too. What is the PET and does it list every nut/bolt/washer/screw and where they go?

I steer clear of Auto Atlanta and all of their junk.

I don't buy anything from AA.

I bought (correction: I paid for) a thermostat from AA for my 914. After 3 months the part was not delivered so I called them and canceled my order.

I bought two for customer car restorations.
They were very good, although not perfect.
All made by Winzer if I'm not mistaken, and well worth the price IMO.
I would not want to put in the time required to identify all those parts and find good sources for the limited quantity required.
