Recommendation on interior sourcing?

Found 2 pix

I'm pretty thin. I can imagine a larger person may not like the way these fit.

Correct. I"m trying to find the "before" pix. I bought them from a guy in NJ. Think I paid $400. Might have been $425. They hold me nicely when driving. Snug but not tight. I like 'em.

thanks for the confirmation. I’ve had a hard time finding a decent donor set, the best I’ve done so far for a pair that needs to be redone as far as the material goes but with a good foam in frame is $1200.

California is different in many ways from New Jersey. Keep your eye out on CL. That's where I found mine.

[NYNick]

$330 each. Just saying...

The "before" picture was very helpful, I think the 911 Sport Seats might be too bulky as an option.

Test fit those 911 seats like I did in the before pic. Sit in them. Others have done it. Worst case you can drive around with them while looking for something else.

As a Porsche guy and someone who does not strive for originality, I'd use them in a heartbeat if they fit. Wrestle them in there and see. OEM Porsche seats are usually comfy and high quality.

my interior guy here in LA used gahh for everything except the headliner which came from bmw classic

 

he rebuilt my door panels too which are original to the car (used incorrect flat silver instead of chrome for the trim)

That turned out great @bmw_e30

Thanks @Gordon, appreciate the referral. I didn’t see ‘74 or later options there however.

I used World Upholestery.  Generally speaking the quality is very good.  I think my problems are installation, as is not doing more to get the back seat tight.  I've been happy with the fit of the fronts.  Corners are all pretty sharp.

 

Keep in mind though, its not just the seat covers, its the pads.  I ponnied up for the stupidly expense , whatever passes for original horsehair pads.  Only one place makes those now.  Cost an arm and a leg but front seats are very sharp and supporting.

 

Oh, I should say, I went for the full leather treatment.  Not the best picture but give you a sense.  Is very washed out exposure.  Is a deeper tan than it appears

Thank you for the post and picture. I bet those look great in person (without phone doing weird lighting things). Must smell great too!
