The 70's are back! I just had a pair of really bad condition seats redone by a local
trimmer. He happened to have the real fabric tucked away way back in his garage. He had done a corvette in the 80's with this material and never used it again. When I described what I wanted he had a solution. The seats were originally in done with the heat sealing of the seams. The vinyl was rally in poor condition. I like these. What do you think?

I think this fabric is original to the 70' editions.

Most 914 seats have tears in them, thats just a Custom tear.

Looks really nice, I like the extra bolstering on the drivers seat.

Those turned out really nice, are the bolsters built up a little? looks that way.

I found a beige with black samall check pattern that I did on one of my seats, just like yours.

Now that the rules changed for track events, I didn't bother for the passenger side for the sub belt as I have no intention of adding another set of harnesses. Most of what this car sees is pleasure drives(is that possible anymore?) and autocross. Thanks for the comments. cheers,Dion

I like it. This really looks period correct.

Posted by: Dion Nov 17 2006, 03:27 PM

Yes the driver side is beefed up a bit more.

Very period and a nice custom touch! Additional bolstering certainly will be appreciated for track duties.
