How much should I expect to pay to have a pair of seats recovered?

[rennch]

Hi, I'm just picking up some seats from a fellow pelicanite...how much can I expect to pay to have them recovered?

[midnight911]

have a receipt from PO dated 1999 doing the front pair. $2500.

Its cheaper to buy the replacement seats, or the whole interior and do a color change.

Last may I had mine covered, just replaced the leather seating surfaces, not the vinyl for a $580 they look great, the leather is perforated like the original.

Send them to Paul Champagne. I think he starts around $1550. But they will be beautiful. You could end up around $3,000 with conversion to sport seats, french seams, custom leather, etc.

Flat6pac says buy replacement seats which looks like a bargain given you can get a killer set of used sport seats for under $1,500.

However.............

If you buy an "old" seat that is in real nice condition are their age issues with the stitching? Does thread hold up as good as leather across 30 years?

what kind of seats are these?

Is this question directed to the OP?

Before I when to full time race seats, I have my redone due to old age. I did the in leather and somewhat two tone upgrade. Black outer with a very dark charcol grey perforated leather (had it pillowed) and it ran ride at $1000.00 by the time I got them back. But one of our fellow pelicans noted that you can purchase in many cases a very nice set of new to you seat for much less.
Good luck

I had mine done in the original German leather for $1,200. Looks like brand new.

Nicest I've seen. Leather w/laser engraved Pascha pattern. Beautiful work. No prices listed on the website. I guess if you have to ask....

$900 for new leather on stock seats. $600 shipped for nice sport seats here on Pelican. No brainer?!?

I spent $300 a seat to have them redone in tweed (car has no AC). They look factory (if the factory offered tweed) and are fairly comfortable. Race seats? No. I'll post pictures if you want to see how they turned out.

Please do, that sounds interesting.

Call around for a local upholstery guy. I have had two sets of early sport seats done locally for <$350/seat. One was cheaper since I supplied the correct basketweave material.

[Revvin 911S]

Just had a pair of mid year sports seats which were in pretty ratty condition completely rebuilt, foam, straps, mechanisms, leather ect. Cost $1900 for the pair and they look and feel great.
