Interior

Post by brian »

Hi,has anyone done a DIY job on the interior of there car,I did have a quick look on www.cobalt ? where a chap has been restoring a moggy,just wondering has anyone tried it or is it best to wait for stuff to turn up on e-bay,but I do fancy giving it a try,cheers, Brian

A few people have done it on here, Lou (regaliaqueen) has made a few. My mum also made the interior for my car, not fitted yet but here is one of the seats:[frame]Image[/frame]

also charlie made his own here - http://www.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f= ... er#p276628

so yes it can be done and is qutie rewarding, often works out a lot cheaper too!

yes i would certainly give it a go especially if you can find a fabric warehouse near you, I paid 3 pound a meter for my fabric and purchased 5 meters of each.

The most expensive pieces of the rebuild were the new straps and foam for the front seats.

I am going to be fitting the rear side trim and back seat this weekend so will post a few pictures of the finished car..if you have any questions please do not hesitate to drop my a mail..

very useful to pull apart and use as patterns so cut down the amount of time you will not have the seats in your car

What a great interior, you must be an interior designer for cars( ooh 8) I feel a new type of interior design show coming on that would just be right for the Dave channel) Bespoke Car Interiors
