What did the client request?
Our company was approached by the owner of this vehicle to do a complete custom refurbishment of the interior upholstery, carpets, door panels, canvas door frames and clear windows, kick panels and a complete new convertible
roof. There was no existing convertible roof to copy and our fabricator had to create the bow structure to support the canvas.
The seats were not sprung and had to be built up using foam and foam wedges to build the seat shape including lumbar support.
The customer wanted a combination of black, charcoal and grey fabrics to match the vehicle structure and paintwork whilst giving a softer and more sympathetic look than using black alone.
What makes this project unique?
This project was unique for our company in that it involved a complete fabric refurbishment of a vehicle and re-build including items that had to be imagined and created without reference to existing items. They had to be designed and fabricated in a manner sympathetic to the vehicle age and design whilst giving practical form and function.
The job included an exterior bag to enclose the hood when folded down and all the fittings were hidden and not visible. All the fittings in the door panel were also hidden.
