No price break, just ruined My material with the shoulder harness holes. I am still "working" on a solution. (They admitted to the screw-up, that's half the battle.)
My thoughts on the material and cost to ship it to them is, That is what I wanted, and PRP worked with me to make it happen. Then a Mistake, That can happen to anyone.
I'll let You Guys know what the final solution is.
Except for those Holes, I Love the PRP Seats..............
Have a Great Day,

Thanks Bill!
I thought they might charge EXTRA to use customer supplied material!
It seems that the seat heater option they offer would be a nice upgrade for a buggy! _________________ Jesucristo es mi Señor y Salvador! |

Starting to get COLD out. Trying to finish up some small projects.
I never liked the orange lenses on the coach lights....
Found some clear lenses that were the right size.
Added 1157A Bulbs.......
And, Much Happier Now.
Have a Great Turkey Day,

Well, the front lights came out OK, so I thought of adding Blue Dots to the Tail Lights.
Only lens I could find, was 1/4 inch too small.
Off to the Hardware store........
Bathtub fixture surround was close.
Some time with the Die Grinder and Xacto Knife.
Guess another Problem solved.
Dust in Picture, looks better than that.
Have a Merry Christmas,

Last updates for 2018.......
I liked the Mirrors, but didn't look right to me, with the Body.
Found some "Round" mirrors, and took a shot.
I think they match the Body better.
Merry Christmas,

Check out the picture of the Barris buggy behind the 914 with the two young girls in front. Can't post pic on my ancient mac. Perhaps someone can.

Do the kids get locked in the front or rear trunk of that 914? Or one in each trunk? Great family car. Tom LOL _________________ Manxter #16, 1968 Meyers Manx & Kick-Out SS #16 (WIP)

I seem to "find" unusual items in daily Life.
The Crayola one was at a thrift shop. I just liked the LOOK.
The Hersey one was found on E-Bay.........

Well Spring is No Hurry, but it got to 40 degrees, time to work.
Time to install that New Bearing...........
Took a Little while, and results were a "Crappy Picture"
But, all together again. And the wheel doesn't move up & down. The horn doesn't blow when you turn the wheel. And the turn signals cancel. What more could I ask for ?
Have a Great Day,

Time for another project on this Buggy.
I saw this, while looking on E-Bay awhile back. Thought it would be COOL at shows.
But, that vendor would not do custom work. I found one that did, but would have to charge extra for the artwork. Tried a couple of different programs that wouldn't give the results I was looking for. Then I found Inkscape, free program that is a lot of fun to work with.
This is what I came up with, and will work for the vendor.
It will be awhile, I still have to "draw" the other two cars. I'll post back with the finished product.
Have a Great Day,
