Just planning my cuts here. It's important to always ensure that any adjoining pieces all come from the same piece of material. All pieces for the seats will be from the same cut... all pieces for the steering wheel will be from the same cut, etc.
Glad to see this... I must have missed a post along the way but from previous pictures I had convinced myself that you were going with green leather for the seat bolsters/backrest top.
I had re-covered a number of things in black alcantara a few years back (left a few things black leather/vinyl for some contrast). So the pieces above will all be black alcantara. The seat centers will be tartan shown above.
I’m reusing the outermost perimeter leather from the Recaros (that part is leather, all other parts are vinyl) as the edges of the bolsters are a high-wear item. I think the pebble grained leather will stand up to wear/tear much better than the alcantara.
That's a good call on the bolsters. I would think that alcantara would wear a lot like suede and get matted easily. Car looks great. Looking forward to how this turns out.
Put the seat backs and latches/cables all back together (what a nightmare!!) and put the bottoms on there as well (even though they need to come off when I do the bottom covers). Had to mock these up so I could get a good idea of how they'll look when finished. So happy with them!!
you're going to blow people's minds when you get this thing finished and out to events! those are stunning and the fabric isn't even in place yet. very impressive.
