I have a bit of a conundrum.

I currently have way to many FD seats and not nearly enough cars to put them in.

I have 3 cars.
93 R1 track car
93 MB Touring DD
81 FB Toy car

I have 5 pairs of seats:
Base Cloth (9/10)
R1 Suede (9.5/10)
R1 Suede (9/10)
Black leather (6/10)
Tan leather (7/10)


What would you do? (The spares will be sold, sadly I am broke.)
Switch the R1 Suedes to Base, keep the tan on tan in the MB, and the black leather in the FB?

 

I think your plan is good. Plus, you could always sell 2 pairs the best condition seats and use the money to re-upholster the remaining seats that you put back into your vehicles.

Good condition original seats tend to sell well from what I remember.

 

I really like the R1 suede. I would pick that over the base cloth.

I think you will have a hard time selling the leather ones though so it may be a good thing you are keeping those.

 

I like the Base seats vs. R1.. I had two pairs of the R1s and sold them all..

Base seats also last longer and does a good job on holding you (not as great but good enough). Also, Base seats seems to be more rare than R1.. but hard to find R1s in great shape.

 

i'll sell whatever gets u the most $$

 

Or better yet, what will sell faster.

 

Well I am going to sell one set of R1 Suedes for sure, my wife wants me to toss the other R1's in the FB if I keep it, junk the leathers. (They arent bad, but need redye work.)

Looks like excellent shape R1 seats are around $500

 

How do you figure since 3888 base/PEP models came to US and vs 2188 R1/R2's

 

base cloth all the way!

 

I think it is because alot of people optioned for the leather seats in the base models. For example my 93 base has leather seats.

 

I prefer the base seats they look really good.

 

Man, wish you were closer. I have mint leather (car has 37K miles) and want Mint base seats.
Why is everything I want always soooooo far.

 

on the side note i was over at a friends and he got the base cloth
i have the suede, i definately like the suede better, just imo
