Wow! First of all, EXCELLENT THREAD and instuctions! Second, I am INSANELY jealous because for a long time I was looking to buy a second set of seats just to have the (red) plaid in them for my Scarlet Red 1975, which would have been period correct. Not only would they be much more comfortable than vinyl here in NE FL where summers (and cars) are hot and winters are damp cold, but the are so funky cool looking just like our cars! I never found plaid seats (once, but they were a grand) and now Scarlet is up for sale. I'd put them in my LE Creamsicle, but they wouldn't be period correct and I have to keep it original. But hands down this is a fantadtic thread and there's not much out there regarding the plaid seats (or the all-white interior which is what my Scarlet had. All-white interior with plaid would really pop!). Great detail. Thanks for this! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hmm... maybe just get a second set of cushions to interchange in summer and winter...

This is the plaid that I wanted to get for my Scarlet Red 1975. Alas, Scarlet is up for sale now and to put plaid in my LE wouldn't be period correct. Otherwise I'd DEFINITELY do red plaid cushions in my LE! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Those turned out great! How does that machine handle sewing vinyls?


Not a problem with my old sewing machine.

Cool thread. I have recently ventured into sewing, doing a couple of seats for my daughter.
White plaid would look good in my white 73.

Dave.

Dave, there was a white and black plaid. I have a picture of the seats. Will post it for you when I get home.

PS the red plaid and yellow plaid look awesome on a white car. I wish my Scarlet still had it's white interior.

This is an awesome thread, I actually created an account just to login and thank you for this.

I really would like to do this to my 914.

I was wondering, does anyone have photos of Plaid Seats in a IRISH GREEN 914?

I am wondering how this will look. Or if anyone has done it before, which material would look "right" in an Irish Green 914.

Thank you in advance.

only thing i can offer to you is if you are not up to sewing these yourself the kits are available from www.914rubber.com, you might find some pictures of the green plaid on their site too.
