Skidmarks Posted 26December, 2017 Report Share Posted 26December, 2017 Hi everyone My 81 Turbo has a set of mint sports seats. However, they spent some time in north QLD and the mound took hold (like what I did there ...?) Need a full rebuild as I think the smell is impregnated in the seat stuffing. Anyone know who is best in Melbourne for this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTY Posted 26December, 2017 Report Share Posted 26December, 2017 Try Tim Ward at Sports and specialists in Richmond he started off with Gary Blackman who in my opinion was one of the best,Tim works on some top end stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraz Posted 26December, 2017 Report Share Posted 26December, 2017 Jason at High Class did the leather trim on my HT Monaro, faultless work, perfect seam matching, re-spring and new foam, old seats where like new. I had that car for 12 years the trim was perfect from day one. They do Porsche insurance work for convertible tops etc. Highly recommended. Tell him Fraz sent you he might not rip you off too much, no seriously great bloke. http://www.autoupholstery.net.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 27December, 2017 Report Share Posted 27December, 2017 My race seats were on the nose a bit, so me ol mum said to sprinkle Bi carb soda on them and leave them for a day or two then vacuum them. Worked a treat. Bicarb works for a lot of odours around the house....especially expired possums ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might try the bicarb but suspect its deep into the padding and not just the leather I’ll speak to both of the above recommendations. Thanks. PS - didn’t skip Christmas dinner but have been working on my power to weight issues regardless. Bought a proper mountain bike. Great fun. Found a new way to scare myself shitless. Full bore down a forest track!! And then you have to go up the other side ... arrgghh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be mate, though if that's the case and you have to retrim them, maybe Targa George's sport seats for sale would be an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAP911 Posted 28December, 2017 Report Share Posted 28December, 2017 Sven my 2 cents is to try and keep the original material if possible ( Thats just me ) I strongly recommend Bill Mousa at BM leather Creations in Cremorne / Richmond and get the seats cleaned and coloured He has done phenomenal work on a lot of old Ferraris and did the seats on my 328 when I had it - Truly beyond belief what he can do with original leather Worth having a chat to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damienb Posted 29May, 2018 Report Share Posted 29May, 2018 @Skidmarks how did you get on with this job? I'm looking for someone in Melbourne to retrim and re-foam some seats too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
