Depending on your classic, door cards are easily done. 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Made redundant, now work part time in a local college in the mechanical engineering workshop helping to get the new generation of skilled manual on the right path. Also re-trained in classic car upholstery as my own side line. From simple repairs to complete new interiors. Original spec or custom or a mix of both. Love both your occupations, classics are my biggest passion. Last year I re-upholtered the seats of my Elise S1 in tartan (Esprit S1-style) on my own and - while not easy at all for a total newbie - it was great fun! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes bringing back old tired interiors is very satisfying. You appreciate the skills involved with the machine stitching together with fitting new covers. Sometimes it’s the minor alterations that get the good to the amazing fit. 😊 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
