Default Paul Champagne the "ARTIST" :bowdown:

I picked up my sport seats two days ago from Paul and Linda Champagne, and quite honestly I was speechless. They are amazing; works of art really. The quality is amazing and the pictures below don't do them justice. I had originally wanted Porsche cloth inserts, with French seams to delete the piping and storage nets on the back. The rest I left up to Paul's discretion. Unfortunatly the cloth is no longer available, but Paul said he could still make it work (???)! Additionally to my complete surprize I got new door panels to go with the seats. It will be a week or so before I can install them. I have to jumper the seat memory because the old seats were 12 way and the sport seats are manual for fore/aft and recline, and I have to move over my fire extuinguisher and bracket over to the new seats. But, I'll post more pictures when everything is installed.

The quality of leather, the stitching and handcrafting are gorgeous. I'm not crazy about the "porsche porsche porsche" pattern, but it may look better installed.

Hey Jim,

it was so nice to have you and Roger over.
Very nice pictures. I'm looking forward to see the seats and door inserts in the car.

Here are a few more detail pictures for those who like these things:




By the way, for those who don't know, this is a very classical design offered by Porsche in the early years. Originally made of cloth, I don't think it was ever offered in the 928.




Enjoy Jim

Paul
