The prev owner had told me the seat bolster was worn  so I had a new panel replaced with new leather by a local car upholsterer and the seats treated with scuff master .I have to say cream , or 'linen' is nt the most practical of colours , but the sports seat feel great for support.

Ah lovely!!

I've had three 944s and just starting to get my head around owning another one! lol

Those sports seats are very comfy, I could do many miles in them.

I owned a red S2 likes yours, then a red '83 square dash model, then finally my favourite, the turbo!

I sold it for £5k 3 years ago. Sadly it would cost me double to buy similar now! I regretted selling it as soon as I did, still do, was a foolish move!!

Here's a pic to tease myself with  :lol:

Any more work required on yours, or just enjoy it?

Yeah belts/chains/tensioners all worth keeping on top of on these.

Those plastic pads on the S2 3.0 litre do have a habit of breaking up with age.
