64studeavanti Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Getting new upholstery. Discovered that the driver's seat bottom is broken. The reinforcement separated and the fiberglass shell is pretty bad. Any one parting an Avanti with the high back seats, not Recaro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could repair the fiberglass, but the reinforcing is rusted through in several places and I would need to fabricate some kind of replacement.

Avanti83 Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 This is the drivers seat from my 74. Shell looks good but the rear seat mounts could be better. If you are interested, I'm in Bay City, Mi 48706 and very high odds I'll make a day trip to the SDC meet in South Bend in early May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64studeavanti Posted March 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Not worried about mounts. Let me know how much and if you would consider shipping. Otherwise, I plan on being in South Bend for the IM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, I plan on being in South Bend for the IM. Depends on how fast you want it. $20 if I bring the whole seat to SB or $30 + shipping if I tear it apart and ship it. Shipping will probably be a bit pricey but I'll rip it apart if you want and get some pricing.. I'll need your zip code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
