    My Houndstooth Interior

    Piece by Piece, I've finally sourced together a complete houndstooth (sport) interior. I recently attained the front seats, but the driver's was trashed, fortunately I had a spare passenger with good replacement components.
    I have to admit, they aren't perfect, but for being 20+ years old they're pretty nice.

    Here are some pictures of the process, (nothing in-depth, I was on a roll and didn't want to pause to document it), and after the install.


    (Sorry about the cluttered work space)


    Dismantled the driver seat, then the spare passenger (not pictured) and transferred all the decent bolsters and mid-section over.



    Ended up with a decent set and a pile of parts.



    I still need to refurbish the rear seats, as you can see the split seams. (Thanks Deathtoll for trading with me!)





    This is my other interior (Black perforated vinyl) , it wasn't as hard to source as the houndstooth, but I still love it dearly.





    Okay, now to the installed pics.

    As you can see, I'm a little obsessed with houndstooth, I made that shift boot and e-brake boot. (I have another shift boot for sale if anyone wants one), btw my crack-less dash is going in next Thursday ;)






    I can post more in-depth pics if these ones aren't satisfactory..

    Well, I thought I'd share my obsession with everyone. Thanks!

                  nice work! seats look super clean, but for me it's a bit over kill with the matching shit/ebrake boot

                      That's what I thought as well, although they looked fantastic with the black vinyl interior/houndstooth door cards combo.

                      I do have a black leather shift boot and e-brake boot, maybe I'll swap those in and post a pic.

                          makes me want to swap out my corrado recaros for my houndstooth sports again. Looks so good with the matching shift and ebrake boots

                            Please tell me you've got some left over fabric (at least enough for a shift boot)
                            I'd love to do the same
