This lovely bus in all her glory at the VW jamboree the owners Simon and Andy let us display the bus on our stand a big THANKS.
This is one of the old door cards ,note the speaker placement which will be needed to be kept in the same place.....
The rear of the van empty waiting for some insulating to go in, Also the window surrounds will be covered in the same PVC as the roof boards.
The front cab area ready for some insulation then the PVC ....wish me luck, they may be small bits but they very hard to get right.....
On to the front door cards and kick boards, you can see the board laid out with the material cut ready to be fixed in to place ,now the fun begins..
Marking out the areas for the material's, it a must to do this as you can see what it will look like when all done, this shows the centre with tuck and roll.
The stitching in progress....this shows the piping being sewn to the centre tuck and roll.
This shows all the parts to the door panel, vinyl top and bottom with tuck and roll cloth centres time for the sewing.....
All done....as if by magic.... well quite a few hours of hard work and loads of cups of tea......oops and a
kit-Kat.
This shows the lower section of the door card having the foam glued and cut to shape, always take great care hear as this shows on the final look.
The wonders of staple guns.......makes my job so much easier, note the two rows of staples the first straight and close to the finish line and the second at an angle to hold down the salvage nice and neatly.
Almost there as you can see the speaker hole ready for the hole to be cut in the upholstery, as you can see keeping it nice and neat pays of, no big lumps and bumps in the panel.
This shows the two rear side door panels all ready to be fitted much care is taken to get these panels to line up with each other.
There all done, with the speaker fitted and ready to fit to the van........
The front cab area having the head lining fitted, much care is needed as all be it a small area its one of the hardest to do and get a clean neat finish.
This shows the finished interior, note the seating cushions that i also done ,this was done in a matching tone fabric with contrast piping to match the front seat.
All done........with all its trimming in, matching curtains to finish the look. I hope you all enjoyed looking and reading this blog as much as i did working on this lovely van. keep looking for more updates soon.
