I love it but I suspect it's going to be one of those love/hate responses. I also think you have the right exterior color to pull that off.

I can't wait to see the Pascha.

Wow, does that make a statement! You're having way too much fun with this

If you scroll through the photos here you'll see your tartan is similar to that in images 19, 22, and 24:

Also images 13, 18, 23, 25, and 26 show some good Pasha pics, by far the grooviest Porsche interior of all time

Great job - - can't wait to see the next set in Pasha!

How fun!

Scottish or Irish Tartan?

You should do a New England Madras pattern for summer time.

Not sure how you guys are doing this. I got two different colours of houndstooth from the place in the UK, but my dealer quoted me $6k for an extra set of seat inserts!

Seats look great. Does your guy make these from scratch? Can you please let us know the details of what it takes to get this done?

Thanks

@ ClintonM3 according to the site it is Scottish Tartan...I have supplied the fabric and he has sculpted the foam cushions then sews the fabric and velcro pieces into place ... the fabric for the Tartan and Pasha has come from Lakewell in Belgium

The Pepita aka houndstooth from ClassicFX in the UK http://classiccarrestorationsurrey.c...egory/fabrics/

Thanks for the link Steve, that is going to come in handy when I go down this path. I have to say that I'm really digging the basket weave and I bet it would look awesome in the sport bucket seats. Hmmmm

@Marine Blue I think the black/red/white would look very nice in your car ...

Default Pascha inserts

These are the latest... I continue to be picture challenged in getting the correct orientation when they upload

Who needs correct orientation with Pasha?? It's crazy cool from the side, from the bottom, topsy-turvy, whatever!!

You've outdone yourself this time, OneBuck

This gets my vote of the three. Well done

That is psychedelic! I love the fact that we can change the inserts so easily to achieve a completely unique and different look.

I have yet to mess around with mine but I'm thinking the new houndstooth that Porsche is using for the 911 would be cool.
