Sam is a frequent customer of d:class and is also popularly known on YouTube as Seen Through Glass. Sam recently brought his Ferrari 360 in for some minor repairs and came down to d:class HQ. Prior to that, we retrimmed the 360's steering wheel. This time, we developed Sam's brand-new Porsche 911 GT3 as a fresh project. After exchanging messages, we realised Sam desired a vintage Porsche fabric, such as the houndstooth pattern that is once again becoming quite popular among Porsche enthusiasts. Pascha in black and white was ultimately chosen, and it was promptly delivered in time for the GT3's arrival.
Pasha Pattern
In the late 70s, Porsche first introduced the world to the psychedelic pattern known as Pasha with the 928. Up until 1984, Pasha was also available in the 924 and 911 models.
The first stage was removing the seats and door cards, which might seem unusual on a brand-new car, but fear not—at d:class, we are well experienced at this. We have worked on vehicles that have travelled through Europe and stopped at some of the best automotive companies before being handed over to their owners in places like Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
Unfortunately, because of the Pasha's design, it becomes incredibly inefficient because the pattern only appears about four times over its breadth. To ensure that all of the panels matched, we had to use the pasha's thinner sections as a foundation for the seats and door cards. In the near future, hopefully, we can make something from the waste.
After the panels had been cut out, it was time to attach them to the original leather Porsche seat covers after applying some foam backing.
The seats and door cards were carefully reinstalled after every piece had been retrimmed. When everything was finished, the car underwent quality assurance and was then given a video and photo shoot for our social media platforms.
