Belts came from the west coast of Canada. https://vintageseatbelts.com Nice guy and fast turn around. He has the Porsche labels in stock and simply asks for the build date so he can stamp them.Jim Clement wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 12:12 am Dave, love those seat belts.. where did you get them..

Yes. That’s how the car was originally delivered. No holes in the doors.Doug McDonnell wrote: ↑Sun Nov 08, 2020 11:10 pm So you are leaving the mirrors on the front fenders?

Re: Sky blue 64c
interesting,
Did the dealers usually put the mirrors on the doors?
Where did the factory install the mirrors.
Gorgeous color.

I believe they were dealer installed. Not mentioned on Kardex at all. I don’t have any holes in my doors where the would have traditionally been mounted.Lockie McKinnon wrote: ↑Mon Nov 09, 2020 3:38 pm interesting,

Re: Sky blue 64c - Fresh out of paint
Looking good. You’re doing a fantastic job on your restoration. When your interior time comes, I make the proper recreated Reutter Headliner for your car. The material is color matched very light grey with the elongated Diamond hole perforation pattern. Contact me for more info if interested. best/Michael
