Default Robert Budd Does It Again ... B & A Pics

Robert Budd put a little Pasha in my wife's 911 SC Cab (I know, it's not a 928, but at least my 928 is in the background). I purchased this car from Big Dave (sold for family member that passed) about 6 weeks ago for my wife's birthday. I must admit it isn't fast, but it gets the looks when she drives it (been dubbed the Barbie Car). Anyway, here are some before and after pics of the front seats that Robert took and made better than new for us.

Classic 9 Leather Shop (name changed to protect the innocent).

Robert does great work. They look very stock. I thought new pasha fabric was hard to find. Robert must have black market connections... I thought you could only pay for Pasha with opium...

Wow, Mark.... that looks awesome. I spoke with Rob at the Frenzy and he said he found another source for Pascha. Not cheap. $$-load/yard.

Looks like nice original Pascha material and is nice looking on those style seats, but what is that puckering I see on a lot of the aftermarket seat recovers? Not trying to be a critic , just curious what causes it as I see a lot of it on the web and even here at the local shops I deal with. It

Jadz928, yes the Pasha material is actually more expensive than leather, especially due to the fact that if you want the pattern to match on both seats you have to use twice as much material as you would think.

Kevin, the pics of the seats on the driveway are from the day that I picked them up from Rob. The leather has since conformed better to the cushion as we sit in them more. Robert could probably explain it better, but I would suspect that the cover and the sub-structure need to be worked in and a little (and Michigan 50F temperature fluctuation probably helps too).

I have always disliked monotone interiors. I was thinking the Pasha martial would break it up a bit, and it sure does. Now, if I can get the IP out without breaking the windshield...

The op-art Pasha makes me dizzy, but it sure looks great otherwise! Congrats!

Good idea, unfortunately she is Phoenix until Wednesday evening. Maybe when she gets back, and it isn't raining so we can go topless. When she calls I will tell her the guys on Rennlist want to see her in the Barbie Car going topless. That should be an interesting conversation.
