seat restoration on a beck? | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Former Member

my dead beck is at vintage now.
I am waiting for an estimate on my engine damage.

I asked greg about restoring the drivers seat. He suggested I replace both seats with his black vinyl ones.

I kind of like the worn look of my red leather seats. I just want the rip repaired.
My plan is to take the seat out, swap it so I can drive the car, and take the seat (in my taurus) to some of the tuck and roll places in town here. (LA).

Anyone had one repaired around here?

I miss my car so much, I have only had 1 drive in it.
but it was a riot.

In the mean time I can come to this forum to feel close to my car.
Cross your fingers for me, I want to be a part of the next fun run.

thanks, theo

Don't fret, you'll have it back soon. Mine's finally going to get painted next week after I Solo it on Sunday. I've had it for over a year now and it's looked like crap but it's oh so fun.

it's dead? what happened to it?

didn't you just get that off of eBay?

It looked kind of old, rough, and worn out...
