Below are some pretty illustrative "before and after" photos.
The original convertible top wasn't in terrible shape - in fact the middle padding and headliner are still very nice - but it had begun to split along some seams and that's not good at all.
We took the car over to Tom at Kelly's Upholstery here in Sarasota and enlisted his help in installing a brand new OE vinyl outer skin. Tom has been in business for many years, and in fact he helped Brad recover in leather the cloth seats in his brand new 1995 Mulberry GTI VR6.
As mentioned, most existing materials and hardware were in good shape, so really all we needed Tom to do was replace one of the two cables and of course, the outer skin. Less than 48-hrs later and the job was done. Tom did a flawless job, as the "after" pics will attest.
These photos also offer a hint at what the finished car will look like with its Porsche D90 wheels and Euro-spec rear bumper.
