Hey all,

Just got these from Rob Budd.

Totally stoked, quality is awesome.

Just curious as to whether anyone thinks this is over the top. I'm going to live with the inserts for awhile before I commit to the next step: rear seats.

The oyster background color is cool in that it doesn't pop as much as the stark white, but at the same time the color also has an aged look to it.

Just curious of any input, good or bad.

Thanks.

Just a note, the panel is not lying flat in these pics (it's just setting in the door) hence the extra warble of the pattern. The pattern is true when lying flat.

I like! We are doing a pair of late cashmere sports with pascha inserts soon for a customer, can't wait to see what they look like.

I like it too! You should definately do both the front and rear seats. Of course with you inserting a bit of color into your shark this way, the next thing that'll happen is you will be repainting it Red...

Love them.

Very cool!

Me likey very much..... Wonder if the blk op-art would match classic gray?

I don't get it. Sorry guys. What is the fascination with upholstery you'd see in a cheap 70s porno? Cue the Porno music: Bon chikky whaa whaa

No disrespect intended. I know how sensitive some of you guys can be.

Rob Edwards

Yeah, but good Pascha is like good ****, you know it when you see it!

I love 'em (the inserts, that is....)!

RicerSchnitzzle

Too cool! Kinda offsets the lack of backseats. I've always loved the Pascha.

Over the top, for sure! You should get rid of them immediately. I'd be happy to take them off your hands in trade for some warped faded cork ones.

BTW: Does Rob Bud do full Pascha restores, or are these original?

Afraid I'm with Angel. There is something compelling about Pascha, but it just gives the car such a dated look. I've seen Nicole in her Pascha skirt and scarf and she looks very contemporary, but as upholstery.........dated, as in 70's.

Adam - I like it - its a real throwback to the original cars - if you just do the panels and the colors match the interior I think it works as a accent piece. With seats front & back it may be too loud for some - you got to really like the look for that... yes it is a bit 70's but thats the point right.... its originally a 70's design - and you'd only do it as a sort of homage to the original style.

I like the "I know it when I see it" bit, but all light heartedness aside, I personally like the Pascha op-art because it, like the 928, is a product of the engineering, design, and art of the time in which it was made. I revel in the thought of this car's heydey, its debut, what it must have been like to experience that interior when it was new. Like everything, when viewed from the distant lens of many subsequent decades, it may seem absurd to some, but that isn't the point. The Thriller video seems absurd to some, but I just saw an entire prison performing a reenactment of the video in an Asian prison on YouTube and they were really digging it. That launched a discussion of how silly we were as a culture in the 1980s.

My coworker said he was studying the bar when that video came out in 1983 and it seems silly now but it was really a big deal. He remembers dropping everything he was doing to watch that video. Some of you probably thought it was silly then, but ignore that for a moment. I'm making a point, here.

Sorry, Pasha never tripped my trigger. I know Pasha is expensive and very hard to come by ( I know the work Rob puts into getting it), but it still doesn't do it for me. Why take a timeless and flawless design like the 928 and date it with the seventies? Seems like a HUGE contradiction to me. The main thing is DO YOU LIKE IT? That's what matters the most.
