Just received my new seats, Will be selling the old ones Options

[daytona]

Hi everyone,
After a year's wait, I am as happy as can be with the new seats I receive from GTS. Couldn't wait to remove the old ones and install the new Scheel style seats.
Sorry, I can't figure out how to straighten out the photos. Maybe an admin can do it.

These are the old seats, and I will be putting them up for sale in a week or so.






And these are the new seats. Waited a year to get them but it was worth it.





There are just a few more details to take care of in the interior and the car will be almost done.

Thanks guys.
I am really happy with the seats. The bright tartan I chose ads some color to the interior, which is something I feel the car needed.

Montreal914, the reason for the long wait was a lack of seat frames. I had ordered the Hockenheim seats. But when the frames arrived, so did the Scheel style seat frames. At the last moment I switched from the Hockenheim to the Spa (Scheel) style.

rjames, you are right. The Scheel style headrest stick quite a bit far forward. Sitting in a relaxed driving position it just barely touches the back of my head. Just sitting there it's not uncomfortable or bothersome. However, I don't think it would be comfortable or even fit if I were wearing a helmet for an autocross. I have not driven the any appreciable distance in these seats so it is hard to tell. If they are not comfortable while driving I will ask Stefan at GTS to exchange headrests for a different style.

I will be traveling for work all of next week. But when I return I will take the car for a good ride and report back on the headrests.
Bill.
