Hey Guys....just thinking out loud ifr there is a turnkey way to re-do our seats without starting from scratch? If not....any shops in 818 that you have had great success with? Thank you very much.

I know a shop that does GREAT work on the rear seats but is iffy on the front seats. Therefore i wont suggest them.

ok that was a joke. It looks like the 914 rubber folks have a great kit for the seats including the original materials. Try them out.

The 914Rubber kits are really top notch. I tend to find something to complain about everything I've bought for my build but those kits are really pretty close to flawless.

My car is kind of the poster child for 914rubber.com. Here is the seat kits, the backpad kit, the carpet kit, the dashboard, the door panels. By the end of the month, the targa pad will be 914rubber.com. Enjoy!

No. A lot of upholstery shops use kits. My friend had a shop do his suburban in leather with a kit. Just talk to them.

I would send your seats to Agustino at Autos International

Posted by: Root_Werks Jul 16 2020, 08:49 AM

Depending on your budget, I've used Autos International for a couple of 356 restorations. Very high quality.

When it comes time to paint my 914-6 back to it's original color, I plan on getting all new interior from vendors here, 914Rubber, AA etc.

Well... I'd love to create more content, more regularly. Two challenges. 1) I need help to do that...and 2) I need my bumblebee back from paint . On the first point, I started a patreon page where people can subscribe for a few bucks a month, and I'll use that dough to bring on some production support. http://patreon.com/iankarr. On the second point, the car is making good progress and I should have it back in August!
