The interior on the 944 is actually really clean and original. The only thing after 35 years is that the driver side seat bolster flattened over the years so I wanted to actually fix this to make things 100%. Unfortunately finding brand new OEM seat foam is difficult, if not near impossible, so I bought some new seat bottom foam from Design911 in the UK.

The only problem with the new foam is that it’s a bit generic for the standard seat so it’s not a direct replacement. It doesn’t have the appropriate cut outs for the power seat controls nor and doesn’t match all the contours needed to slot in to the seat frame.

| New seat foam vs very old one |
I spent several hours cutting and trimming the new foam to match the old foam then recovered and attached everything back to the seat frame. It was frankly way more work than I thought it’d be but not only does the bolster look better, the fresh foam makes the seat feel much better and supportive.
