Oh man that was horrible!

 

I got the car today, rain storm and all! At least it stopped raining when it was dropped off. These don't do it justice, but it's here!

 

Finally got a chance to drive the car! Gotta say it's nice! It doesn't take corners like my 944 S, but a lot of cars don't, that car is like a magnet on the road and as far as steering, whereever you point the wheel that's where you're going... no lag or play in the wheel.

The only thing I found wrong is the leather headliner is saging in a couple places. It's nothing worth returning the car, but something I do want to fix.

 

Congrats on car. Headliners failing are common for our cars. Find a reputable shop to do the job. All 6 trim pieces as well as headliner need replacement. Rear seat will need to be removed. Getting the visors covered may be difficult to find someone to be willing to do as well as getting a close match to your material. Good luck with car. Enjoy!

 

Considering the Poltrona Frau option was quite expensive I’d suggest finding the best custom upholstery specialist you can find to re-glue everything properly.

 

That's the route I am going to go. Everything looks perfect, just some sags. Honestly at first I thought it was a 'billowed' or pillow look, so it doesn't look horrible... for now! The leather roof liner is in absolutely perfect condition other than the spots the glue dried out. I can't see replacing it when the material is in excellent condition. Put it this way, yes I will have it taken car of... but not until after I do an exhaust upgrade So it's not that bad, just something that needs to be taken care of. I intend on this being a special use car, but man... I was telling my buddy it's going to be hard to refrain from driving it more often than I planned!

 

Meh...every day you are alive is a special occasion, drive it like you stole it. Bentley GT's all get saggy headliners and most owners just rip off the dead foam, clean everything and re glue the leather directly to the headliner.
