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 911R Original, never restored (missing corduroy cloth) 914-6 GT's Photo Galleries at pbase.com 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...

Call Rod Emory (or another serious restorer) and ask him where he would send it. Those are big $$ and authenticity will be key.

Tony at Autobahn.... 20+ years with Auto's Intl, then know his own company for the last 8 to 10. He's done literally dozens of seats for me, all Recaro Sport seats, and vintage Race buckets. He does all of Emory's work that they send out.
He does a lot of the work for: Roads Scholars "the air cooled guys", Klubsport, Jim Newton, Racecraft, etc etc., and probably 90% of the Early S Registry and I would guess 100% of the RGruppe from what I've seen. cheers, Eric
