Interior carpet/leather/trim renovations

[Mustang Baz]

Can anyone recommend a good TVR trim specialist in the South please? I would like to get some quotes on "tidying" carpet/leather areas and perhaps removing some excess glue from original manufacture, so any advice appreciated. Main item is to re-attach/glue leather on rear shelf bulkhead which is starting to come loose.

Excess glue can be removed quite easily with super glue remover.

Many thanks. Any one else?? Cannot believe no one else has not felt compelled/required to need renovations!!

There is apparently a trim specialist advertised in the Sprint mags.

Went to AJ Trimming and apparently the rear shelf on the Tuscan (just under rear screen) is a plastic/vinyl material to which glue does not easily adhere. Result - because of poor original build quality and crap "repairs" subsequently, my rear shelf remains loose from the bulkhead and looks like it cannot be repaired!

Anyone help here? Really want to find a solution which gets this tidied up - which does not result in a return to the factory for re-trim.

If you are still looking for someone to do some trimming, try giving Mike Jones a call on Swindon 01793 813333. Top bloke. Re did my targa panels on my S3 inside and out back in the summer. Used him after high recommendations. Good luck.

I know he's not down south but the best out there IMHO is a guy called Roy Dowd (ACT Trimmers in Blackpool). Years ago he used to work for TVR and transformed my 3000M in 1976. He works in a little lock up with no overheads and has done Porsches Ferraris you name it he has done complete interiors and the quality is always outstanding. Over the years he has retrimmed about 8 cars for me and a boat!

He is always very busy and needs a months or 2 notice for a big job and his prices are very reasonable. At the moment he is putting in an all new leather interior new carpets and headlining in my orange Lotus plus 2S. It will be finished next week here are a few before and after pics of some of the interior trim, sorry if you don't like orange!
