What made you choose the Tillet seats over say Recaro's. I understand weight might be part of it, but did you have any other reason?

Nice job on the dash stitching, that can't be easy, have you done this kind of thing before?

I've done a bit of leather work in the past, trimming some brackets etc and it's worked out really well, but the dash trim can't be straight forward.
If you look at some of the stuff a good trimmer can do, it's pretty amazing.
I had some special leather selves made to cover a seat belt part a few months ago, used a highly recommended trimmer. It was a waste of money, I could have done better myself nod will do next time.

Keep up the good work!

Welcome to the forum Anders. Your project is off to a great start already! I love the interior touches you are putting together. I first saw Tillett seats in a Caterham and thought they would look great in a 964. Your pictures prove that thought was true.
