Looks perfect. I've been looking to find 7th Cav tartan so I can do my seats.

That is the best upholstery job I have ever seen on a set of 914 seats. Everything looks perfectly smooth and tight. Was it a pre-sewn kit or done by a shop?

Job was done by an older guy with lots of experience. First time I saw his 50 year old sewing machine I had my doubts but when I saw his work on others cars ....
No pre-sewn kit, I bought the vinyl and cloth myself and he did the sewing.. he even added new foam which makes them more firm. Hugh difference.
In winter he will do the dash and the centerconsole.
I just have to find a new adjustment handle

Beautiful! Love the colors and pattern, and they compliment your car. The way the seats are stuffed and stitched is perfect! Kudos!

Great job,
Yes, the foam not being collapsed maked a difference.
That and it takes time and patience to get these right. Experience also goes a long way too.
As far as the color, its just fabric, can be changed out easily

As a purist, sniff, I am inclined to believe that even if they are not stock, they look freaken fantastic!

go on facebook and look for Andy clegg. He had the tartan made in scotland.
He has two types and is working on yelloW/greenish ones as well

yes yes, the 914 I use for shorter trips, grocery getting etc.
The 911 I use for longer trips with the lady... (or when I am in the mood for some extra power
)
Trust you're ok Bob, stay safe !
