Fabric sport seats

One of my winter projects is reupholstering a pair of sport seats. Im thinking about coverig the whole front side in a Porsche tweed fabric.
Just curious has anyone covered 74 -84 style of sport seats in fabric ? and if so do you have pics to share.
I know some of the 924's came with fabric front sport seats, and of course the later RSA's did.
Some examples. Anyone else got any fabric sport seats to share ?

Not sure if this helps, but I have the early tombstone sport seat for the driver with cloth center. The rest is vinyl.

I did the inserts in fabric in the original blocked stitch pattern.

Fabric Sport seats

Here are some Turbo Sport Seats with vinyl surrounds and Porsche script fabric inserts.....

Far more comfortable in hot weather.... Scott

Thank you for the pics. Some good inspiration for my project
Recently I saw a complete corduroy set of 80-84 Sport seats for sale on Early S. Ive never seen that before.


FS: G type (77 +) black conduroy seats (turbo like)
I like the patina and if I had a hot rod car with a black interior Id be all over them.

Meanwhile im thinking really thinking about weather to keep the leather sides and just do the center panel possibly in Pascha or go for it with the complete Berber tweed middle ala RSA. I like the Pascha in Black and white but the blue seems subdued, and I fell if you are going for it, then go big.

My car has the Berber tweed ceneters but in Dark blue

Keep the inspiration coming.
