Advise 911R Scheel Factory Racing Bucket Seats Restoration

I need your opinion, suggestions...

I'm trying to determine which is the best qualified shop to restore a pair of factory original Scheel seats. I would appreciate a 'pm', or email me directly at ajserrano at msn . com.
If you own a seat restoration shop, please feel free to contact me as well.

My goal is to NOT over-restore, but to try and maintain as much as possible, all those small but important (to me) factory original construction details. Maybe I'm being too demanding, but I only want to do this once. It has to be done correctly, without compromise (not unless there are no other options). Should I try and save the original vinyl, the hand-stitching and make repairs keeping some of the patina along the way, or do I replace it all new?

Here are a few photos, but the larger more detailed pix can be seen in the two links below;

Scheel Early (1968) Original, never restored (w/corduroy cloth) 914-6 GT's Photo Galleries at pbase.com

Thank you all in advance for your comments and suggestions...
