Autobahn Interiors in the press again in 2014!

Autobahn Interiors are excited to be featured in yet another magazine this month. This time the article is from 911 & Porsche magazine UK December issue. The article is about the restoration project on a 1972 narrow bodied 911t. This was a large project involving many Porsche body, engine and of course interior experts!

This cream cracker with mellow green stripes is packing some pretty impressive additions, a 1977 European Spec 3.0 litre 930 engine complete with K27 turbo and 964 camshafts!

The color of the car is Chrysler "cool vanilla" overlaid with Ford "kiwi Green Stripes", that are painted rather than decals. San Diego veteran Tom Amon is responsible for rebuilding the 930 engine and 915 transmission approximately 15 years ago. Other modifications that were added around the same time were the dual outlet exhaust, new bilsteins, anti roll bars, rear torsion bars, ball joints, steering rack, RR rods, plus 964 front brake calipers with a 22mm master cylinder.

After you are done admiring the exterior work and the engine we then see the inside and your eyes are treated to another aesthetic feast! Autobahn Interiors put in GTS Sport seats in Green Leather upholstery, and we clad the dash top and door furniture in similar colors and the carpet is German Square weave matting.

This was truly a remarkable car to work on and the finished work completed by all parties involved looks fantastic.

A completed Targa also in December!

Next up for this month is a 1968 911s Soft Window Targa.

This project involved a full interior recovery using Black German Vinyl. The carpet of choice was the ever popular German Haargarn and for the trunk set German Square Weave was installed. We also restored the top in smooth vinly and finally for the front seats German Vinyl and to compliment the look and color of the car German Hounsdtooth was added to the seats.

The car looks fantastic and was a fun project to work on with many intricate details needed to call it a success..

1974 911 Finished this December 2014..

We have been very busy over the month of December 2014. This blog will feature and show in detail the work we did on a 1974 Porsche 911 s.

The owner chose for the interior a used linen leather combo with German Black Vinyl. For the carpet dark brown sliverknit with German backing for the floormats. To complete the finishing touches we added a perforated Ivory German Headliner.
