I'm looking to re-upholster my seats with some new fabric, and was wondering if anyone out there had a link to the fabric patterns for doing such a thing?

You will never find any patterns. Best bet is to strip the fabric off the seats and carefully split up the sections and use them as patterns. My upholstery guy looked all over the place for them. He ended doing what I suggested. Came out fine

The bottom is close to the stock coupe bottom but the top is alot narrower.

thats exactly what the upholstery shop i used to work for did.

take a sharp razor and cut the seams, lay the material out on the new fabric mark where you need to cut with chalk and cut it out. then place the new piece over the new piece mark where you need to sew with chalk and you have a perfect replica of your old seat pattern.

Thats what I figured I would have to do, but I just didnt want to have a car without a seat for a week or so :\. oh well, you've gotta do what you've gotta do. Though, I will make patterns when I do this, so that anyone else looking to make some will have them. Pictures and process will follow within the next month or so.

Are you going with cloth, or leather?? One colour or a combination?

I have my interior out right now, but cannot decide on the colour.

Looking for any suggestions - pictures are worth a thousand words.
