A Late Brazilian Bay Window VW Camper Van Front Seat Re Trim

Hear is a picture of a new brazilian bus that a customer ask me to do some re triming to make the interor more modern and more in keeping with the bus......I hope you all like the pictures and info given.....COOL.........  





    
A clasic design of caravan upholstery put into a camper van............MMMMM not my choice !!!!!!but it takes all sorts.
This is a differant photo showing the rear of the front seats ...these had a problem that the poptop roof leaked and soaked and this was the reason for the triming.......
e
Hear are some colour samples of what the customer was wanting.........better than the origonal.....
The cutting procese under way , as you can see the markings on the revers of the matiral... this helps with the sewing.
All cut and ready to sew, This is the rock and roll bed unit. this matched with the front seats.
The seat all layed out and you can see the shapes and parts needed to make it fit the base foam swabb.
A smily face......lol , this show the center pannel ready for the tuck and roll sewing.
A close up of the sewing of the center panel making the tuck and roll style.
The next stage.....the sewing of the side pannels stiched together.....a slow proces but well worth the finished result.
A differant close up picture showing the boarder to the top pannel.
All done and ready  to be put onto the foam swab......
This is the back sewn in the same way and ready to be put on....re using the old but good condition foam.
Ready to have the cover put on....some silicon is used to help the cover slide over the foam.
All done....PEW....a late night needed to get this right, the finished result looks great.
The two side by side ready to be put into the vanall thats needed is the head rests fiting....job done.
A angle photo of the matching door cards.....these were styled in the same colour and style as the seats.
New carpet fitted and glued down....the front kick boards were next on the list to do....
As if by majic....well quite a few late nights and cups of tea later....
Just a angle veiw of the van with new roof seals fitted this stoped the leeks into the van....
There all done........ready for the customer to pic up....this is a great look for this bus,,it realy made a differance to the look and styling ...I hope you all liked, see you all soon for some more updates...
Cheers    
Colin.
