looking pretty good there mate.
did you rub them down & spray them or wa it a re-trim ??

13th March 2005, 20:21

Just took em apart, rubbed em down used loadsa primer. Took ages but gives a smoothe finish in the end. Got some blue leather from a fabric shop, pulled off the old material and stuck it over the top.

Wanna get some new window winders now, mayb some chrome ones?

was a small local fabric shop, they do stuff for making curtains, cushions etc. Just went in there, got a metre of this stuff 4 a tenner, and the spray was this special stuff 4 sticking fabric 2 fabric.

I would reccomend lookin 4 a local fabric shop and asking about it instore!

Old material comes off suprisingly easily and the glue sticks better once its been removed.

if i cant find ne decent stuff in ne of the shops round here, ne chance of sending u the cash and u getting it, then sending it over??

So do you just peel of the old fabric from the doorcard or does the doorcard come apart then peel it off. I only ask this coz it looks like the fabric is very neat round the edges and wondered how you do that ???

14th March 2005, 22:07

First cus the material section away from the plastic. Then rip the old material off and glue the new stuff on. All u got left to do is glue the new material bit to the plastic lugs (I used a gluegun).

Im gna try and make some seatcovers next although ive seen a few disasterous attempts in my time

15th March 2005, 05:01

dont make seat covers retrim the seats, its not that difficult if you have access to a sewing machine and some heavy duty needles

15th March 2005, 14:44

make your own parcel shelf too sparco had that and it looked ace

15th March 2005, 14:48

yeah a parcelshelf is def in the pipeline, will do one in the same blue leather eventually.

Got induction kit on the way aswell

16th March 2005, 02:22

Its all go now then

16th March 2005, 03:49

very smart!
u thinking about doing the dash?

16th March 2005, 13:00

yeah i would love to smoothe it all down and spray it silver! Does anybody know how hard it is to remove the entire dash from the car??

17th March 2005, 03:53

its not so hard, its more annoying. Oh and you will be left with some dodgy little torx screws which you have no idea where they came from ! Sods law!

17th March 2005, 04:19

I wanna take my dash apart... Anyone know how?

18th March 2005, 02:02
