Fabulous work Garry - some of the first re-upholstered seats I've seen that look 'just right' ...

Your seat is getting the same treatment for re-sale, but the headset was always destined for higher ground. I've reunited him with his brother and there are going on the seats above
Fantastic. If my short legs didn't find the factory seats a bit long in the base, then I'd buy it back off you in a heartbeat.

A tad more early seat restoration this time in red vinyl.
I again had to purchase quite a bit of red vinyl to get an almost perfect early match
, so have a tad for sale if you want to recover that faded rear parcel shelf.
Cost is £24 per meter being 134cm wide

Wanted to post up some pics of the fabulous job Garry has done on some original 1973 recaro sports seats.
A lot of research went into getting the correct original vinyl and houndstooth to make these.

Rather pleased with how they came out
Don't worry haven't forgotten the headrests they are still to be fitted

Hi Garry
Is that the original red seat beading or did you have to source that as well?
Also, I don't have a swb coupe rear parcel shelf piece but I'd love one done in red if you know where there is one or a copy. (sorry, only just caught up with your thread this morning).
Regards
Mike
