Just received some pics from autobahn of my recovered seats. Kinda excited to get these in the car.

I’ll post more pics once they arrive. This is the German Houndstooth (called Pepita, I believe), which was a much heftier material than the standard houndstooth.

I get more comments on my seats than any other item...



I drooled over many photos of your interior before I pulled the trigger. There was another thread with some seats that had a blue tartan insert thing going on that Autobahn did. I really should've taken some pictures of my seats before hand. They were just demolished. As a matter of fact, I haven't had a passenger seat in the car in at least six months. The driver seat had the back pulled entirely off and my back was against the fiberglass shell. The bottom cushion was split in about five places and the cushion underneath was tired and ripped. You could easily see the sensor for the seat belt relay system in the cushion. The rest of the interior looked pretty good though.

I'll update this thread once the seats are back. While the seats were gone I restored the seat adjusters. Powder coated them and had the adjusting hardware re-plated. Bought new bushings from 914Rubber, too. Only used one of the bushings from that kit, though. The majority of the stock bushings were in great shape and fit a little better.
