Like the contrasting piping on the dash and seats. I like a little "outlaw" in cars unless they are a real collector model...

 

I'm not biased and I love the way it looks. (If it were mine, I might remove the big bumpers but everything else is great)

 

Thank you as well.
Where I would normally agree, I think the update to blacked out bright work really helps the bumpers "fit in". As I'm not a huge fan of them, it is a '75 and this way I keep the spirit of the year and I think it really works. It's not a hot rod or speed demon, it is what it is, a mid 70's econo box that looks better than original IMO.

 

Thanks! The stitching has been a HUGE hit with everyone that's seen it. Who knew

 

I purchased this car last week. So far so good, need to sort out tires, trunk latch, oil leaks...great fun.

"interesting" dashboard to say the least...

 

silver put away for a long IA winter...

at least I can drive the red one in the winter in AZ...

 

Added some inexpensive LED bulbs to the gauges. Made a huge difference over factory bulbs. Updates the look a bit too, not the typical dim yellow. I'm pleased.

 

A couple of new updates to my Bahia Red 74 2.0.

This is the result of a three year restoration. You can see the build over at 914 World. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=201834

Awesome and awesome color.

 

It is nice to see someone take the time and money to restore an early model 914. Seems like everyone wants a 73 2.0 and ignores the fact that the quality of the 914 body is the most important thing, not the option list and year model
