Looks perfect. I've been looking to find 7th Cav tartan so I can do my seats.

Looks really good. Nice work ! They would also look good in a Martini or Gulf themed car I guess

Screw those purists! Those seats are perfect in your car!

Fantastic!

Awesome look with the car color! I bought some as well and may do it with my Olympic Blue car...

That is the best upholstery job I have ever seen on a set of 914 seats. Everything looks perfectly smooth and tight. Was it a pre-sewn kit or done by a shop?

Posted by: dax1969 Jul 28 2020, 09:08 AM

Yes, they look best in orange or olympic blue cars !

Great look Dax

Compliments your car well.

Job was done by an older guy with lots of experience. First time I saw his 50 year old sewing machine I had my doubts but when I saw his work on others cars ....
No pre-sewn kit, I bought the vinyl and cloth myself and he did the sewing.. he even added new foam which makes them more firm. Hugh difference.

In winter he will do the dash and the centerconsole.

I just have to find a new adjustment handle

I have been contemplating the very same for my 73 Olympic blue. Need to contact Mr. Klegg.

Posted by: MM1 Jul 28 2020, 03:59 PM

Good match to your exterior - enjoy, Dax!

Posted by: Sprout Jul 28 2020, 04:37 PM

Beautiful! Love the colors and pattern, and they compliment your car. The way the seats are stuffed and stitched is perfect! Kudos!

Great job,
Yes, the foam not being collapsed maked a difference.
That and it takes time and patience to get these right. Experience also goes a long way too.

As far as the color, its just fabric, can be changed out easily

Posted by: mbseto Jul 29 2020, 11:57 AM

That looks fantastic. Where's the cloth from?

Posted by: RickS Jul 29 2020, 10:45 PM

As a purist, sniff, I am inclined to believe that even if they are not stock, they look freaken fantastic!

Posted by: dax1969 Jul 30 2020, 01:18 AM

go on facebook and look for Andy clegg. He had the tartan made in scotland.
He has two types and is working on yelloW/greenish ones as well
