Hi mate,

I would if I had one! That area isn't really done yet as we're waiting for the leather to do it all together. Is there some detail in particular you would like to see?

I'll look forward to seeing it

Cheers,
Paul

I need new carpet too.( mine is linen as well). I actually like the look of the rear seats vs the rs carpets back there. I like the rear shelf and fender pieces,too.
But if i went black, i would have to source these from someone going "rs". Which may not be too hard, seeing all the rs carpet sets going in.

Hi Streetdaddy,

Although my carpet set is a lighter weight Dave at Southbound has made them up as a normal set to be used with the existing rear seats.

I'll send you a photo when it's all trimmed up but we're waiting for the leather to arrive at the mo. and John's very busy so I might have a month or so wait before he can do them now.

Have you got that horn button yet?

Cheers,
Paul

Paul,
I posted a new thread last night. Check it out.

Really enjoying this thread & like how you go back to Job already done to take care of little details.

I have Linen seats too but carpet is grey, the combo looks great and is easier to keep (look) clean than alternatives. Let me know if you want to see pic.

Streetdaddy

I wanna see. Considering my options as well. Linen carpet is tough!

Mondrian

Hope paul doesn't mind the detour!

Might have pic of rear on laptop, will check later but you get the idea - really brings out the seats, blends with black dash and sorts the problem of dirty linen carpets - I also think easier to keep clean than black.

Hi,

SD,

It's not a new look, Linen with black, it fact it was an option on early 911's (probably not called Linen though) so I wouldn't worry about going down that route, I was thinking of doing that myself.





Thanks Mondrian, it's work in progress

Not at all, and your car's interior looks very classy. :thumb up:

I couldn't resist going for red since I as hell bent on introducing basket weave anyway.

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Chaps,

I wish this computer was a scratch and sniff for you guys, Spinneybeck leather weave in Cima Brenta.

The linen on the back to stop stretching and warping, I can see where the price comes from, well, a lot of it And all wrapped up in ribbon and bow. Every single panel needs to be border stitched to keep the weave straight but its very strong.









Later
Paul

Streetdaddy

I'm excited for you.I guess I'll just have to settle for my Yankee candle leather air fresheners!

BLACK-BETTY

Yum look forward to what's next.

They might do the trick SD

Thanks Frank, I'll keep the posts coming but I don't think there will be much happening before Christmas. We're also waiting for the rest of the leather to arrive which should come this week.

Cheers,
Paul

Hi,

I've been lucky enough to find some blank "pre - 73" dash-trim to inlay the leather weave, I was thinking we might have to CNC it out ourselves but this will save a lot of work :thumb:



The result should look something like this.





Cheers,
Paul

Paul,

As I put together the pieces for my project, it is the cars and threads like yours, Lemass, Black Betty, Boxey, LateforLunch, umong others that keep me in awe. The details you put into your car are truly georgeous...while I can't wait to see the finished car (if you ever can truly be finished) I eagerly await the next upgrade.

Paul, that's going to look superb
