Working with Sam with my fuel issue I changed my fuel filter, checked the vacuum line going to the FPR changed the vent valve in the fender. (Car wouldn't take fuel at the pump)
Got the car back together and somehow managed to develop a small boost leak at the Wiggins on the SRM Y-pipe. (do boost-leak checks often!) Sean's sending me what i need to correct the problem.
Fast forward to the 14th. I had an appointment with ESH Upholstery to get a complete interior refresh. ESH managed to score some 918 cowhides and I bought 2 immediately. This stuff is like butter!
Anyway, sorry for the crappy pix but this stuff is amazing! They even stamped the Porsche crests in the new leather!

 

6speed is the only place where my photos end up on their side!! I can't fix it

 

And since my 996 project is coming to a close I decided to buy my next project.
1989 928 S4. Going with the Kuhn Twin Turbo kit for this project.

 

I really need to visit ESH sometime, I hear all sorts of good things and they apparently actually do good work on time too!

That 928 with turbos is going to be nuts, I love it!

 

Their work is fantastic! They tried to talk me into going with more exciting inserts, like alcantara, but if it wasn't on the build sheet... I wasn't interested.
The only change I made was getting rid of the "supple" leather look. I hate that wrinkle, old curtain, pleated look of the old leather. I had them pull the leather tight for a more modern look and they nailed it! Pictures do it no justice and now the car smells like a new Porsche when you open the door!

 

ESH did a 993 dash for a friend of mine in alcantara and it came out great.

 

You weren't kidding about being busy!!! Wow, the seats look amazing. The stamp they have with the crest looks just like the oem ones. I had never seen a shop with the stamps before, only seen embroidered crests which I'm not really a fan of.

If you don't mind me asking what was approx price to do the front and rear seats? I notice you have red stitching even on the side panels, did they do that as well? Did you use the 918 hides just on the front seats? You mentioned getting rid of the supple look by stretching the leather so did they use your original leather or new pieces? Sorry for all the questions, I'm considering similar work.

928 looks awesome too! Having owned my CTT for some time now I can say a twin turbo Porsche V8 is pretty freakin amazing!! I can only imagine in a car that probably weighs half of the CTT. LOL

Thanks!

 

They stripped the seats of the old leather and covered everything in the 918 hides, both front and rear. I just didnt want the supple "look" anymore, so I specified to not replicate the look. The red stitching was original equipment on my car and wanted to put it back.

I can give you their number and they can quote you. I think they bought all the 918 hides that were available.

The first Porsche I had a lot of time in was a 928, love those cars. That's awesome.

With the 918 hides, was the crest already embossed or did your shop do that?

 

Shop pressed them in.

 

That's awesome. I don't think too many of us are fans of the Supple Leather. it's not sporty, and doesn't age very well.

Can you post up a pic of that fresh leather smell please!?!?!?

 

Those seats look sweet! They did an awesome job!

 

Alcantra over the gauge hood is what I'd want, I'd like to change up the wheel too but think I'll keep my wheel stock and do DTC next they run a sale

 

Awesome R! You got the right 928 too!

 

Ok, cool thanks!
