I might try my hand at recovering my Corbeaus this winter... as long as my wife doesn't see me uding her sewing machine.

Forget plaid. Go paisley - 916 style.

Is that for real, or did someone put something funky in my coffee???

Desavo (sp?)
I felt like I have seen this thread before......

It's real baby. Déjà Vu

deja vu?

edit: John beat me to it. I was trying to find those special characters for the a and e. Where are they anyhow?

Andrew

The quickest way to get all the funky letters is to copy and paste from a google search.
Or you can use html code for all sorts of symbols: £ ¥ ± ¶ ½ Æ Ð ß æ ü ξ ψ Ω

If there's another thread, can someone post a link to it? I did a search (albiet a quick one) and didn't come up with much.

Groovy! Do they come in a red , white & black pattern?

sorry djm914-6,
I did a search too and couldnt find anything either. I remember something about it thoe, and someone had a pic of some plaid seats.
Sorry, dont have any more info for ya.

Dave - try this thread.

YPIF - (yellow plaid is faster)

Alien style

Thats the thread!

How did you find it? I'm still learning how to use the Search I guess.

Ok, I did a bit more searching... I found a few threads, but most had the exact same pictures.

BTW, I like the plastic on the lower part of that yellow seat... just like grandma's house.

Maybe I'll make a pass through the local fabric store to see what I can find. This cheap cloth on the Forza seats suck! I need to tackle something to boost my desire to work on the car. I figured the seats are an easy indoor project for the really cold winter nights coming soon (no comments from those in warmer areas). On better days and nights I'll tackle the body. Outside will go yellow with red trim and inside will be black with hopefully yellow and red fabric inserts.

If anyone finds something new, post away.

here are some on a 76.

Toast - the secret is to use the right keywords.
I found this using "plaid and interior".
(see ya next weekend)


Good luck with your project Dave.
As always - post lots of pictures of your progress.

i've always liked the original 928 'OpArt' fabric. guy in England still has some - saw a writeup in a recent magazine. ('GT' i think ...)

factory style:

That would look really classy in GTeener.

So many ideas, so little time.

Do they do plaid racing seats?

I doubt any manufacturer makes their seats in plaid, but anything can be recovered. My seats are the cheaper Corbeau Forza. This is a tube frame with cheap padding and cheaper cloth. I figure for only a few bucks and my wifes sewing machine I can have seat that looks right in a '70s car. I'd really like to do red and yellow plaid to match my color scheme.

Rich,
As much as I like the 928 op art, I couldn't imagine owning a car with it.

i think you need a white or black car to really pull it off, and no, i'm not considering it for the 911. the black Sparcos will have to do, although i may get a set of red inserts...

( i -really- like that the inserts are Velcro'd to the shell and can be machine washed & dried after a hot, sweaty track weekend ... )

I got to have some of that 916 cool blue paisley, anybody know were I can get some to re-do the center of my Konigs?

This was from eBay a bit ago, seller never responded to emails when I wanted to buy more

Found these too:

It's Groooovy Babe YA!
