Default GTA Seat/Leather repair

I have a really small corner section of my seat that the stitching has begun to come apart. I don't want to recover the seats as they are in good shape... does anyone know somewhere locally (GTA) that I can bring the seat to and have repaired? (see yellow circled section)

I figured it's winter.... now's the time to do it!

Mark, give my friend a call. He may be out of your way.... I don't know. He lives around the corner from me and does very nice work. You should see the stuff he does along with his brother, Chip Foose qaulity imo. We are up in Keswick, 45 min north of T.O. and 12 min north of Newmarket on Woodbine Ave. His name is Kerry Leblanc, tell him Gary with the Yellow bug sent you. (905) 989-2702

Stop by if you do end up here, I'm always around right now on Parental leave

Gary,

That pretty much sounds like a plan to me?? We actually have friends in Tottenham and come up through NewMarket.. so it's much out of the way.. I'll just have to see if he is open on weekends.

I'll be giving him a call.

Did you sell your beautiful 930 yet? You really shouldn't!

Glad I could help Mark, he does some top notch work and did a custom interior for my 72' beetle which I get lots of comments about. Wait until you see the interior he did for his brother's station wagon, amazing when you see the facilities they do the work in.

no, havn't sold the car yet, bad time of year I guess.... oh well if I don't sell I'll be driving it this spring.

Give me a call when your around (905) 476-1967 I'll give you directions. I'd like to get a photo of your car and mine together some time, being both 87's. It would make anice poster on the wall

Kerry sounds like a good guy and knowledgeable as well, but what do I know about leather!!! LOL

I'll give you a ring on Sunday. It'll be after lunch sometime. I obviously won't be driving the Pcar this go around.. but this spring for sure. I presume your's is in much better shape than mine. I wish the paint didn't have as many chips in the front. Oh well.. Speak to you Sunday.
