Porsche Front Seat Strip Down And Repair

Hello to you all here is a pair of front Porsche seats out of a 911 car, These seats are very rare as the covering on them has Porsche written across the fabric....The customer was keen to keep this material as its no longer available. I had to carefully strip the seats down so he could hand wash the covers ready for me to repair and re fit.....enjoy.....
