Recently had the driver's bolster fabric replaced with donor fabric from back side of a salvage yard seat.

Nice job! The CORRECT bolster fabric for these seats is impossible to find from the aftermarket. I've checked dozens of sources.

Nice repair. Notice the date code on the back of the original bolster..pretty cool.

very nicely done. Even the factory replacement fabric is slightly different colors than the installed fabric sometimes. I have NOS center spectrum fabric in my car and it is def more red and less orange than the factory installed interiors. Im fine with it since i wasn't going for a perfect restoration and i switched colors anyways.

Everytime i see one of these interiors really well cleaned and in nice shape i still think they are one of the coolest and most unique interiors of the 80s. I can't think of anything more bold and in your face than these interiors.

That came out looking great!
