Time to start working on the interior

[kokenm]

My interior is leather.. OK Ha ha funny all Porsche interiors are leather unless otherwise altered. No My interior is tan and leather. I need the driver side door glove box and a new dash as mine was beat up by the previous owners anti-theft bar on the steering wheel. I have been looking around and have come up empty.

Where can one get leather interior parts in that deep rich tan leather color.

Might not be so lucky to find a used dash in good condition. Most of them shrank and warped. Best bet is to have it reconditioned/recovered. 928Leather is one good source i have found or Just Dashes.

My steering wheel has a leather cover otherwise my T is trimmed in naugahyde. Not all Porsches are made equally.

[porschenut]

leather has been an extra-cost option since day 1 and still is today.

[kokenm]

so much for assumptions.
I guess that all P-Cars may not be leather.

I have an 82 911SC.
Tan Interior.

My guess as far as the description of his color is cork. Just a blind guess.

Here´s a German Dash restoration. They used a glass fibre epoxy resin to fill the cracks
Sanding and recovering resulted in a pretty good result

Nope. That year, the "tan" was a color called Beige.

If you are DIY inclined here is a nice writeup that is fairly straight forward.

No my '72 911T COA says black leatherette interior. AKA Vinyl. Seen lots of cloth and vinyl interiors. In fact even when cars had leather seats often the rest of the interior is vinyl. Leather is definitely the exception on older Porsches in my experience.

If it looks like this it is called grey/beige.

I am in the middle of a complete leather job on my 75 Carrera Leather Dash ect.(Cork). I was lucky enough that my main issue was the dash, and also lucky that I have a shop that does concours quality work.

75's had the center speaker, no such thing as a "available" cork or tan speaker cover so gonna make one.

While I'm in there all metal window trim and seals replaced and trim being reannodized the correct black.

$$$$$

Also learned that 75 has needle punch carpet which is NLA by everyone, samples coming for next closest thing.

Here are a few before pics:





Not many options when it comes to Cork and leather.

Sorry,

Been a little busy.
So I have seen the vinyl and paint answer and really wanted to try and turn it back to original. I may try to see if a brother in law of mine who owns an upholstery shop can see what he can to do to get the materials. should be interesting.

I will post some picts if I get the materials and start the process. hell I will post the pictures no matter what I do..

cause we all know that we like pictures.

[kokenm]

By the way...

Cork would be the color.

[UrQuattro]

Yup, that's what I said days ago. Heh.

[kokenm]

you were right.. and a picture is worth a thousand words.. I should have posted some and there would have been no question.
