During Thanksgiving I had a chance to go to the local pick-n-pull near my parents house. There were three 200 series in there, as well as a turbo 940 and turbo 740, both turbos about 1994. There was a manual tranny in one of the 240s, but I don’t have the scratch to buy it. Instead I pulled the tan seat covers off of one, then took out the bottom passenger cushion. They charged me for the whole seat, but I didn’t need it. I’m gonna swap it into the driver side with a new set of springs. Above is my current seat, below is the “fresh” vinyl and slip cover.
BONUS: I drew a picture of a towering pile of cars and posted to my Flickr page.
I, too, put some ‘nused’ vinyl seat covers on my 245, but have found that regular use is leading to the formation cracks in the new covers after a few months of use. I’m of the opinion that either the fabric/leather covers are preferable, or else that you’re better off having new vinyl seat covers made using the original covers, if for no other reason that they should have a much longer lifespan.
