Northy Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I reckon hounds tooth. Maybe look at original style tartan or perhaps black heavy corduroy? I'd be interested in knowing the costs involved in seat trimming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripe Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 About £500 to trim a pair of Recaro buckets in leather, £120 less done in vinyl. Proper old school trimmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Von Twinzig Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Quilted and whilst your at it have a nice matching smoking jacket knocked up. Suit your position in society nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJH911 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 964RS* or Houndstooth for me. Quilted is nice but it's a little "now" and possibly slightly WCC. * This may be as I have always liked this, ever since a week in Paris (family holiday, autumn half term 1991) as a 12 year old when the only reading material I had (in English) was the copy of Autocar & Motor (as was) with the review of the 964RS and that cornering shot on the cover.

AirCooledExcellence Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Get the Pascha in it!! Pascha would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Von Twinzig Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Pascha would be cool ...and smell like an old Labrador when it gets damp. This car will have no roof so as and when it catches a shower (as it will) you want to be able to wipe it dry and carry on I would say. Driving along with a damp seat is no fun. BTDT.

Tripe Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Hmmm, found a UK website last night which offers a lot of the old Porsche seat fabrics, pascha included. Those seat squabs are only secured by velcro, it wouldn't take much extra effort to get a few sets made up in different fabrics, then I could try and keep everyone happy. Mrs T prefers the triple grey you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran T Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I'm with Twinny on the practicality , has to able to repel some water , also , the colour will have a big impact on trim - have you considered Pascha & Leather ? Kieran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripe Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Very nice Kieran but at US $600 exc import taxes and shipping that's a lot of lolly just for a couple of lengths of laser etched leather.

Lesworth Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Definately Pascha... or tartan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgundyben Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) I'm not sure about Tartan in this project, it would look a bit mish mash I reckon, too busy. To be honest whileI said pascha above, and I love the crazyness of pascha, I dont think its the right cloth for an open car. I reckon maybe something suede or alcantara ish. ETA - just noticed I didnt say pascha, I said Houndstooth, I've no idea, I'm talking shoite. Tripe - do what you want, dont listen to us lot!

Tripe Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 And I think Mrs Tripe is right with the triple grey. You're just a bloody creep you are. Edit, Aldo thanks for the link to the ebay seats, but tombstones are out of the equation. The seat shells I picked up from Gary's tip-off have the same ribbing on the back as 964 RS, so want to make a go of those. Mine Original RS FWIW 964 Speedster seat shells are different again, but beggars can't be choosers Boydy has been sharing his north of the border seat fantasy with me, but I think a pair of these in mine might be a bit much.
