Upholstery and Seat repairs





I'll take a rest from the body work and do some work on the upholstery


Seat frames for the bases were a little rusty on surface but generally in good condition.
Nothing more than a little clean up and repaint couldn't fix.



Frames had to be stripped off all padding and upholstery prior to rust treatment and paint.


Painted frames baking in the sun.



Still had original parts number tags on all seats, and in very good condition.


                                                        New upholstery being fitted.


Date stamp on underneath of foam 19th June 1965


Old seat before work starts
Seat after frame cleaned up  painted hessian and upholstery replaced 
















Quarter panels were stripped and  treated will etch prime then paint white





White upholstery coming along fine just some minor tweeks.

Will look great with the turquoise paint job.









Rims stripped of paint ready for etch primer.



Correct rims for 1965



Once the rims are painted I can get my brand new white wall tyres fitted.
