Hello to you all below is a lat bay window that we had to fit in for a re trim of the front cab head lining and rear rock and roll cushions with a buddy seat............hope you all like............
This is the lovely van that was waiting me Monday morning...........and needed for the Friday the same week..........late nights...................
As you can see a bit of a mess, but under all the over covers was the original covering.
The customers were down in Cornwall on a two week holiday.... i had there van for the first week so they can enjoy there new seats in the second week....
What did we find.... the original Westphalia covering... this was keep for re use as it was in great condition.
The buddy seat was ready for some up dating and making look good again.
Firstly the cab head lining had to be cut sewn and fitted...... This shows it all striped and ready for covering.
As if by magic.....a newly made and fitted head liner.........what a difference
This is the tools ready to strip of all the old covering and foam ready for new foam and covers.
A close up shot showing the stitching taking shape, The contrast stitching matches the cream outer.
All together.... with the tuck and roll with the side boards attached.
Piping all made up and ready to be sewn to the panels.
There all done......looking good if i say so my self....loll. A few late nights to get hear...
This is a tool i could not do with out, A electric foam knife which makes cutting the foam so much essayer.
The under side of the large 3rd cushion, this shows the water Prof lining, it allows the cushion to breath but stops water from getting in to the foam.
All done....a huge cushion making up the rear of the bay window bed ....sleep tight.
All done and in place as you can see its important to get the strips lining up, If they are out the whole job looks bad........
From the other side... showing the large cushion in place ,All you need is some pillows and a quilt...night night....
This is from the front again.....with a removable right hand side cushion allowing access to a storage unit.
The buddy seat striped with new foam cut and ready for covering....You can see the markings to work out the tuck and roll placement.
All done.......the buddy seat all done and ready for some use........fixed in place by Velcro for easy use.... I hope you all liked this trim and if you have any questions please contact me.... cheers Colin.
