    PCC is affiliated with BHCC. The cars that are too rusty to sell get parted out. No surprise his stuff looks like it does.

    I have to agree with the previous speakers. The houndstooth seats cannot be compared with the ones offered here. since the seats are sold, you can talk about it openly: both the houndstooth inlay and the perforated letherette do not match the original. the seams of the middle panel (typical saddler's beginner's fault) are also irrelevant for the seats, the overall condition is apparently bad and the driver's seat certainly requires welding work on the frame. So two seats that can still be restored (with effort), while the basketwave seats are completely original and in apparently good condition. a difference like day and night. my opinion ... regards

    Nice indeed, just reverse the seat belt receivers and you have a winner red lever should be on the bottom for easy access to unbuckle. Free bump

    Wow praise from user “Recarno” is an unusual sight. I too give my blessing as theses look great. In regards to earlier question the double locker is really a 73 thing, not found in 72 and mostly in later 73, nothing is finite with these cars. The covering on this set is appropriate for 69-71 cars in a perfect perforation pattern that the main Porsches upholstery shops don’t do these days. They have a great original look for one one those year survivor cars.

    Yes when I did my recovers on sport seats back in 2004, the perforation hole never looked as good as factory no matter what shop was doing recovers.So I just went with solid bolsters even though my car would have had perforation holes on original seats. The perforation material available just looked too fake for me. Chris
