Subject: My '74 2.0

Here are some pics of my car, with Roh ZR6 16X7 wheels/Nitto tires.
I'm very proud of the interior in particular. I re-covered the seats 
and rear firewall bolster with pre-sewn kits, but the door panels 
were made from scratch, using the early metal window sill substructures, 
instead of the later all-cardboard affairs. The early door panels fit 
better, positioned inside the bead on the inner door skin instead of 
on the crest of the bead. I made the carpet pieces, using commercial 
grade carpet that closely approximates the original ribbed carpet, 
with the "directional" appearance of German square weave material.
( Being an old 356 nut, square weave carpet has always said "Porsche" 
to me!)  I also made the console tray/cushion assembly from scratch, 
exactly like the factory pieces. The A/C works. I'm very happy with 
the car, and have another '74 2.0(ivory) on which I'll probably start 
restoration next spring. My ultimate goal is a six, however.This seems 
to be the goal of most 914 enthusiasts!
