Zinnocoupe-

I had the rear seat back on my E30 Cab redone by Pacific Auto Trim on W. 5th in Vancouver. PM me if you would be interested in a review of their work.

I too am thinking about buying the seat kits to re-trim the front and rear seats on my E24.........

Bert, I'm here in Peoria and wondered if you could get me a way to contact the upholstery guy who did your seats. I need to have my driver's seat re-done. Pm me if you want. Thanks

So I got the seats so far and decided I'd take them to a local place to have the leather covers from the EBAY Zoom Zoom guy put on.

Local guy quoted me 4-5hrs @ $60/hr to put the leather on the seat frames and cover the backs,

soo.....

I pick them up Friday will get pictures then.

Before...

I have seen the zoomzooming guy on ebay. Is the leather a pretty good match for the existing pearl beige? Seats look good. Thats going to make a big difference for your interior.

Brick,

Before you get to far into the recover, I recommend examining all of the frame for broken welds.
I had 3 on my drivers seat, and the car only had 68,000 miles.

Too late, but the one seat was fixed with a welded bar as noted by the Upholstery shop.


This was Natural Color Leather not Pearl Beige. They have pearl Beige though.
