Scheel 911R Racing Bucket - Original

...This Scheel is going to Tony Garcia at Autobhan Interiors http://www.autobahninteriors.com/#!about for a 'refresh', not a total restoration. I've decided to keep the seat as original as possible and only make the most necessary and obvious repairs, the corduroy.

For comparison purposes, take a look at this unrestored Scheel 911R seat http://www.pbase.com/9146gt/image/96622015 and compare the stitching to the one I have http://www.pbase.com/9146gt/image/137114522/original

Here is one more point of reference for factory Scheel 911R buckets http://www.early911sregistry.org/forums/showthread.php?65697-Original-911-R-seat-Photo&p=495380#post495380

After a careful look at this 911R seat, Tony and I decided to freshen it up without having to take the entire factory original stitching apart. Because I was fortunate enough to have saved some Scheel original corduroy material for many years, Tony will now be able to use it and only replace the very outer foam layer keeping the seat as original as possible. The one small area of the vinyl needing attention will also be repaired. Eyelets will be added as well. Progress photos will follow...
