I am pretty sure that fabric was a factory option in '75 and/or '76, anyone have a swatch book to verify?

I had that wallpaper in my bedroom my senior year in HS. Mom and I put it up. We had to stop every so often to keep from getting dizzy.
Also had red and black 2" long shag carpet.
Black velor curtains.
Black bean bag
Black light and strobe light.
8 track stereo
And a 914 with the same wallpaper..
(not really)
And no, I didn't do drugs, (didn't have to...)

928 only, it's cool. Pascha, but Rich knows that for sure.
The only fabric I like more is the original fabric in Gregg's 916, not the Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche crap AA put in it.

From AUTOWEEK May 16, 1983,
"As part of the restoration, Tony Lapine, the Porsche styling chief, designed a new upholstery scheme for the interior. It had originally had been done in a wierd kind of paisley, which Lapine never liked. With the design he also supplied a special Porsche logo fabric for the seat and door inserts and supervised the installation when he attended Gregg's funeral in Jacksonville a couple of years ago."
Just what to set the record stright.

This is the fabric for my seats. I rolled it out because it came folded from the supplier in europe. My upholstery guy told me to let it relax then roll it up before I sent it on to him. I couldn't resist setting the most expensive table cloth I've ever seen.
BTW: those German guys are cool. Cant read a word but Ilike it!

Rich, who did you get that from, and what other materials might they have?
I found this 'very close to purple porsche paisley' stuff, it's a little loud.. and maybe a bit lavender..
I would not want my doors covered in Pascha.

I'll look tomorrow night and post the info. It's on another computer. I love that paisley stuff. I'm thinking of have my friend do a part of the door. I'm also thinking of doing the dash in place of the vinyl strip. Hey it goes without saying. I'm a little crazy...

I am doing my dash, and doors in leather (early RS pull straps) and the seats will get a pretty insert, unless I find someone who molds leather pretty good, and doesn't charge motorcycle seat prices...
Then I am going Maltese.. + + + + + +
After seeing Bob B.'s orange car, I need to find something that looks good with orange..
