Default FS: 968 Cashmere Beige Seats - 4way adj

I had an extra interior that was cashmere beige and I had all of it re-done to use and sell. Seats have not been installed since refinished.

They did a nice job. If you don't mind me asking, who did you send it out to and how much did it cost?
Regards.

How much are you looking for (before the mods ask you to post a price...)

Long story how I ended up with two interiors, but suffice to say I started a 944 project and bought the interior of a 968 (these seats) then ended up buying a 968 that had cashmere beige. There is a guy that lives near me that got laid off of a telecom comp and started refinishing vinyl (a hobby) as a day job and he never looked back. He did an e34 M5 for me and 2 years later only normal creasing where the leather was already creased. Color holds well.

When I bought the 968 the driver's seat had the normal bolster problem so when he came to get the M5 interior i gave him the one seat. When he gave it back, I was shocked and took everything out of the car and had it re-done. Then I figured I may as well re-do what I am going to sell cause I would want to find a buy like these as opposed to some used torn pieces with a brownish tint.

I am not really 'looking' for anything, just giving rennlisters first dibs before they get listed on ebay is all.

Looks like you're missing the turbo.

Beautiful engine. Did you have that intake manifold customed?

Intake manifold is custom as are the 4-1 exhaust headers. The turbo I have is a gt35R BB but the hot side even with the furnished adaptor, does not fit the stock mount. So now I am wondering if i sell this one and get another one that does, or spend the time fabricating way to mount this turbo without going too far from stock parts.

I also am missing fuel injectors. I paid for them a year ago from a vendor and since then they have not been able to produce them or a refund so issue is still pending. The hardest part about this whole ordeal are the vendors. Maybe you will get everything you expected and maybe not but it is for sure that they will make you pay in advance so you are the only one who loses out if something goes bad.

As far as the seats, my guy uses the existing leather and re-applies the color. If the leather (vinyl) is damaged then he replaces that part.

Hard to say how much because it was part of a package of another interior he was doing for me.

Here is a pic of the other interior he did for me 2 years after it was done.

They are the original factory seats and materials which are vinyl.

I don't think Porsche offered an all-vinyl seat in the 968. Standard was the cloth inserts with the rest in vinyl but most 968s came with the leather inserts and the rest in vinyl. Of course they had full leather options.

I am interested if these are seats with leather seating faces. The most common configuration is leather on the seat faces and vinyl on the sides and backs, which is what I'm looking for. Let me know, OK? Where are you located?

I assume the orange color is a white-balance problem with the photo!
