Hello to you all.......happy new year to you all and WOW its going to be a bizzy one.......Bellow is a project i am doing for a customer.........these photos show the striping down of the front seats and re covering in a white with a blue piping with a flower embroidered design......have a look and i hope you like......
This is the seats before i started....some one had had a go at re covering them in the past..........well start again i think.
This is the drivers seat with the base removed and the old back still in place.....the start is always the hardest.....
There all striped down with the frames cleaned and painted ready for new seat and back pads.........
The replacements i use are the best i have found.they cost a little more but its well worth the money.
The double seat at the same stage ready for the covering.
I used the old pad to mark out the area for the tuck and roll and were the foam is to be placed on....
This is a close up of the customers own design flowers.......I can get any name or design that you wish......just ring or email me and i can chat to you in more detail : info@autotrimvw.com
This is showing you all the covering cut out for the drivers seat back........as you can see the flower in the top corner.
This is the marking out with soft pencil so very easy to remove once stitched through .
A close up shot showing how i mark the stitch line and hold the layers of material together very important to keep all the materials in place.
There.....all good so far with the tuck and roll in place and the panel ready for the piping.
This shows the under side of the drivers seat,all under tension.....if you get this right you only need a very few fixing points...........
A close up shot of the tension wire fitted round its fixing point....this keeps the covering tight and in place.
This shows the back with the foam all on and ready for the back cover to go on..............you can use silicon spray to help the cover slid on.
The over side of the back....with the foam wrapped round...I find this helps make such a neater job.
All done.................just a little adjusting to do then ready for the back to be fixed on.
Here you can see the flower design in place and looking very smart...........
Done...pew....a lot of car was needed to make sure the lines on the seat line up with the back....
There all ready to be fitted to the bus...........Keep looking as there is much more to come on this bus and i cant wait to see it all in place.
This is the bus as it came in......its having some major work doing to the body work ...see you all soon i hoped you liked....if you have any questions please feel free to ring or pop in.tel : 07794978914
cheers Colin.
