The '80s material just didn't hold up well over
the years. The front seat had already been recovered a second time with
the same material, and a heavier cotton backer, but it still wasn't enough.
|
The new stock upholstery. The pattern doesn't reduce well in the pictures
from my digital camera.
|
The vinyl of the rear seat had split along the top. We use duct tape
to hold it together until we could find out what happened. When we
finally took the cover off, we found that the original paper wrapped
cord that held the springs to the frame had disintegrated.
|
The finished rear seat. It has the replacement
foam instead of the batting. Overall, I'm not as fond of it since I couldn't
repack to get the wrinkes out.
|
The original sunvisors held up fairly well
considering. We never recovered these in the '80s.
|
The new sunvisors are a bit different in color
scheme, but I like the lighter vinyl better in this case.
|
The '80s headliner held up fairly well, but
the '56 soundpadding above was disintegrating.
|
The new headliner, pulled tight enough to get rid
of the wrinkles.
