Upholstry Question

[brandenh]

Hi everyone, on my 85 Turbo Esprit, the bracket where the mirror bolts on, along with the sunvisors (which attaches to the roof) Needs to be re-upholstered, anyone know where I can get upholstry like the stuff used in this car? It's a tan fabric.

I found an exact match at a local auto upolstry shop for my previous 83 Turbo. After doing some of the work myself, I took the visors and a couple other pieces to the shop to have them do the work. It isn't that difficult, but they knew all the tricks and it looked great. It wasnt that expensive either since I already disassembled it for them.

Hi,
I recovered all my headlining using material from SJ Sportscars.
They have a website www.sjsportscars.co.uk. It's about £13/metre and 55 inches wide. You stick it on with Dunlop 1358 adhesive, which SJ also supply.
It's important to let the glue go tacky before affixing the material and carefully smooth it down. Do not be tempted to poke it with your finger as your fingerprint will be immortalised for posterity.
It's best to do all the headlining so it's all the same shade. You won't realise how filthy it is until you remove the old stuff. Get your wife/girlfriend to do the sewing.
Regards
Alan
