Early style 928
seats present very specific restoration challenges. Recaro made some
weird choices when they designed these seats.
While the design
of the inserts is beautiful, the way it was carried out, is the
basic reason why none of these have survived in anything near an
acceptable shape.
The whole
construction of the inserts relied only on glue to keep it's shape.
The pattern of the inserts itself, didn't help either.
They revised all
this in the second generation 928S4 seats, and while they carried
over the same insert design, it now included a much better pattern
and some structural ties and supports.
My plan here, was to keep the look of the
original, while incorporating the construction updates of the
later generation and some nice custom touches that would have been
impractical in a mass production setting.
