Picked up a new parts car yesterday. Wanted the manual rack out of it and can sell the 3 Fuch wheels on it and cover purchase price. Everythign else will be gravey. Question is how far is 'to far gone' for sport seats? I know I can buy a re-kit on ebay for around $350. But what are the 'death' for seats? I have zero experience in this area. Just hate to throw them on the fire if they may be worth something to someone when re-worked.

I'd like to know as well... I actually just bought a set of early sports about an hour ago haha. Plan on recovering them...

Michael,

Sell them or recover them and keep them. Other than the covers, they look to be in great shape.

Those are easily recoverable. I <3 my early sport seats in my 951.

a competent upholstery shop can easily rebuild the foam. 'too far gone' is bent in half...

Not trying to thread jack, still on topic, but how much $$ would a shop charge for a recover and minor repairs? My dad thinks it'll be $200 for the set but I feel like it'll be more like twice that..

Way more than that, I got a quote for my old Camaro (it had ONE RIP on the driver's side seat) and they said they'd replace that one piece of leather alone for $200.

Oh, they were gonna add a bit of foam too.

You have to hand it to Butters, he is not afraid to try things on his car other Porsche owners would have a mental breakdown if they saw it.

No worries about hyjacking dude. All here to learn and enjoy.
