Finally got my seats reupholstered in uberkaro

[noid]

Always wanted to redo my seats in uberkaro, found a true craftsman near me who does upholstery.

I sourced all the fabric and provided it to him.

Specs:
5oz thick oil tanned leather for outside bolsters and back cover (OEM is about 2oz Chemical finish for outside bolsters and vinyl on the back cover).
Uberkaro fabric from Germany
Inside bolster material from a local place that has a warehouse worth of fabrics (mostly buy excess from OEM's, this fabric was circa 2001).
Burlap wrapped foam for long term support (particularly where seat springs are).
Saddle stitching thread (very thick and strong thread).

Great job !!

[markseven]

Those look superb. Can you please share the shop info?

[jasonbk]

In for the info as well... Very interested.

[Kershaw]

That looks great. Really nice job.

But I am 98.7% certain the back is not vinyl. It doesn't feel like vinyl and it certainly doesnt wear or scratch like vinyl.

He works out of his house, one interior at a time until its finished, high quality over quantity kind of guy. Let me ask him if he minds if I post his information.

These are a couple pictures he sent me mid-creation:

Notice chalk marks, making sure everything is aligned perfectly.

Got the leather from a local leather wholesaler (I know a thing or two about leather). PM me if you need some, they only sell by the half hide, I can run down pick some up and ship it. 5oz is much thicker then most upholstery shops are used to working with, so keep that in mind, the finished product is 100x nicer and more durable, but shops work with upholstery leather because its thin, stretchable and takes less labour.

The inside side bolster fabric I got from a place in Mississauga Ontario, kind of place that doesn't even have a website, but has literally a warehouse of rolls of automotive fabric. They buy by the container from OEM's I presume when certain generations of vehicles end. Not the sort of place that will do anyone any justice over the phone, but if you can make it out, or have someone one go on your behalf to look around, its a quality place.

Uberkaro I got from a supplier in Germany by the meter (bought 5 meters), they have alot of other rare BMW fabrics.

Anyone who is serious in needing fabric, PM me I dont mind sharing info, just wouldn't want any of these gems to get bogged down by tire kickers.
