Default GTS Leather Pillar - Please post pics

I don't know if someone posted detailed pics before but I now urgently need detailed photos of GTS leather a-pillars, if at all possible both inside and out, but only outside will do. Please help :-)

Anders I love you like a brother ;-) Thank you very very kindly. This will help a lot!! These are very hard to find. Rob Budd is making me some and these will be an excellent example.

Heinricih:

Keep in mind that if you just take some regular covers and cover them with leather, they are not going to fit! The leather covered covers are typically the ones that came out too lousy to use them as is, then they cut or grinded off some areas. It's been a while since I reglued the leather on one of them - just make sure you keep testing the fit in the process.

Been there Nicole thanks. Yes not easy at all. I think the key is to have leather that is high quality. I have several a-pillars to use and have killed a few too. Problem is if you shafe more than a 10th of a mil, you're into serious foam, which is useless.

sweanders;

Truely awesome interior on the werksmobile. I get a little excited (somewhere special) at the sight of sport seats.

What color is that? Also, what color carpeting?

I don't think we have figured out the exact color. We suspect it might be a color to match a lipstick... I think Anders likes that idea... ;-)

The only Porsche leather it could be is Matador Red - a marbelized leather that was offered at that time. However, on Anders' pictures the interior looks a lot lighter colored than the matador red on the Porsche color chart. Of course, I could be wrong...

...Or maybe it had something to do with the Mary Kay '68 Caddy' "VerksVagen"
What color lipstick is that?

Anders... forget about radar dectectors, just get yourself some fuzzy dice.
Love your interior, I do.
