That's very nice, thanks for that!!

From the pictures it looks like you have put the covers and horsehair cushion from a non-tilt Sportline seat onto a tilt-forward seat. It looks like the standard tilt-forward wire frame will accept the Sportline cover and cushion, with only a small part at the bottom of the Sportline leather not fitting into the half round fixture at the bottom of the tilt forward frame.

Am I seeing things correct here.......??

Because his beautiful Coupe' blew them into the weeds at every stop !

And tell the fellow with that gawd awful gigantic star nose on his car to move it, it detracts from viewing your coupe !
(It looks like a giant zit ready to be popped !)

Congratulations !! Great Job. Very envious of the black interior !

OP would you please PM me mate - I would love tp include your coupe on Coupe'-n-Cabs.com

That's actually a pretty cool looking w201 if it weren't for the SEC style grill.
