Wasn't sure when you showed the samples Paul, but they are a beautiful thing
Will look stunning in the car.

Lovely looking seats.
Any update on the rest of the 'not correct for 74' interior pieces ?

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

Thanks for all the kind words from everyone, I appreciate the encouragement.markm wrote:Them seats look absolutely fabulous
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.Highfield wrote:Any update on the rest of the interior pieces?
I'll post up some more pics later.
