Will look stunning in the car.

Lovely looking seats.

Any update on the rest of the 'not correct for 74' interior pieces ?

Sorry Gary. No problem, it's sorted now. In Photoshop. :lol:

Nice! I do like Porsche tartan. Nearly did orange in my RSR rep at first but as I did the seatbacks orange thought it would be overkill and not very 'racey'.

Always been partial to it though, never seen a car look bad with it and yours will look great in the finished car :)

I must say, after my initial concerns, the seats look great!! the blue stripe gives it enough contrast and they don't look to lairy! Well done!

Thanks for all the kind words from everyone, I appreciate the encouragement.
I'm delighted with them too. :)

When I collected the seats I could instantly see that Southbound had made a superb job of them.
There are no creases, no loose covers, no blemishes, perfect stitching. Nice work.
And they use top quality leather, an expensive grade. It should wear well too.

I can recommend them.
It's a great place, honest folk producing honest craft. Proudly made in Britain.
Take a trip down and see them, it sounds bizarre but the workshop smells wonderful, all leathers and glues.
The staff don't notice the aromas anymore but I was taken with the place, it's wonderful to discover specialists like that in the UK.

Yes, Southbound helped me with that too. They were all recovered in black leather.
I'll post up some more pics later.
