Recovered Seats, Autobahn Interiors in San Diego Options

[Rob-O]

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.

Wanted to update the thread.

In addition to the seats I rebuilt the seat sliding mechanisms and also replaced the dash. When I redid the dash I also replaced the basketweave. It wasn’t but a few years old but had curled in a few places. That’ll teach me to remove old adhesive before applying new adhesive!

Interior parts used.

1). New upper dash vinyl. Picked up from JoAnn Fabric. Not the factory type grain but has an extremely low gloss. This helps cancel out glare outdo the windshield.

2). New dash pad from 914Rubber

3). New bezels for lights and cigarette lighter.

4). New cig lighter element.

5). New dash basketweave

6). New door panels from 914Rubber

7). New driver smuggler box from 914Rubber.

8). New passenger side armrest lower.

9). New German loop carpet from 914Rubber

10). New floor mats from Lloyd Mats

11). Gauge bezel powdercoated with wrinkle finish

12). Gauge lighting done by Timothy here on World

13). New shift knob from Pelican (Dansk part but plastic not the Bakelite material).

14). New heater knob from 914Rubber

15). Seats recovered by Autobahn Interiors in San Diego.

16). New ‘PRESS’ stickers on seat belt receivers.

Still lots of work to be done. Backpad needs to be replaced/repaired/recovered. I’m currently on the hunt for good looking fresh air controls. Working on the glove box cover this evening. New center console (the type I have is incorrect for a ‘74). I have a Blaupunkt Frankfurt fro Mark Heard but it needs to be sent off for repair.

But it’s getting nice...
