Best interior I have ever seen

Hello
I recently stopped by Patrick Motorsports in Phoenix and saw an 1984 911 turned into a Carrera-White backdate ST that has the most beautiful interior job that I have ever seen. They have been working in this car for over a year and I understand it will be unveiled at the Arizona Porsche Concours on Oct. 25. It is breathtaking! The car has a 993 VRam 3.8 and G50 transmission, the car will be truly spectacular.
Here are some pics of the interior, they do not do justice to the workmanship. Mark (the interior guy at P Motorsports) is truly an artist. Congratulations to James Patrick on such an amazing build and to the new owner, I am sooo jealous of you!
Cheers
MD

I love the carpet kit! Is there a kit available for the Carreras that uses the square weave material? I like it soooo much more than the sliver knit.

I know that Mark did not use a kit. He cut, finished and thermo-formed each piece of carpet to fit perfectly. I'm telling you, this guy's work is awesome!

I tend to agree "yuck" on the color choice, but as "they" say, "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder!"

More proof that people have wildly varying tastes.

I guess if I owned this car I might go for it...

I believe Ferdinand, Butzi and most of the Porsche/Peich family would disagree with your take on beauty. After all this is the interior color they chose to place inside the grandaddy of all 911s, the very first production 901 that rolled out of the factory to be kept by the family and which resides nowadays as the centerpiece of the Porsche museum.
But you're right, what the hell would those people know about taste..or cars for that matter.

Those Singer interiors are incredibly nice - I agree that the original post seems to be an homage to the Singer look.

I love the pattern on the door card. I wonder if that could be imitated on the RS door panel reps for a reasonable sum?

I luv red interiors. I would not do the rear seats on an ST hot rod but I am sure the owner has his reasons.

It's a sports car. Red interiors rock. Black and grey are for Toyotas.

Workmanship appears to be superb. The color, I like...the grommets, no...unless they are functional in some way (cooled seats?). Strike me more like portholes on a buick or face brake vents.

It's not a "tribute" or "homage" to singer if Patrick was building these cars first....
