Upholstery Replacement
I have a 1983 GSL with red leather upholstery. Has anyone in the RX-7 Club found a good solution to the deteriorating upholstery problem? I have only found passenger side red leather seats in reasonably good condition at the Roy "Y" (the RX-7 salvage yard here in Washington State), but it doesn't look like they can be easily adapted to the driver's side. Dealer ordering would be unbelievably expensive, if even possible.

Do you have both original seats? If so talk to the guys at Holcomb in Aberdeen, they stiched a bench seat for me for $120.00... even put in new springs. Let me also add that this seat had ZERO cover or padding left...
Banned. I got OWNED!!!

I got a set of red leather seats in my 80. They came from a 81 GSL 
They are in very good shape, drivers seat has a very small crack at the top, but its been like that every since I got them and hasnt ever gotten worse ...
