Seat restoration discussion
I have the luck to have a pair of extraordionary good 67 sport seats. The seats came out of one car and both have the same condition. Problem was that they had the wrong upholstery.
I questioned myself how to reupholster them. New Pepita or Basketweave is not so problematic to use while having the correct materials - but new corduroy misses the often desired patina.
Since I had a complete set of original 67 corduroy sport seat inlets which were overcovered by another layer of corduroy for decades, I decided to make an experiment.
The corduroy had damages on both tops of the backrest and one sitting part was also unusable. So I adapt another sitting part of a 67 bucket seat and sewed a stripe made out of the defect part on both backrest tops.
So all the materials of the inlets are out of 66/67, the perforated vinyl is new.
The original belts of the 67 seats I reused too but reinforced them with new belts.
The point of discussion is : Is such a restauration desirable although there are the shown mendings or is it a waste of time.
What is your opinion ?
