Re: [doc] Interior re-trim



Hi James,

I recently had my dash, binnacle, knee pad, and top of the centre console retrimmed.  I used a chap called Nick Fulcher based in Hethersett which is just down the road from me and I could not believe it when he worked on the prototype DeLorean in Detroit!  Check out the following link:  www.coachtrimmer.co.uk/ourwork.html

Anyway, the results were fantastic!  I did as much as could by picking out the damaged material (think I had the worst sun damaged binnacle ever!!!!) and filling the cracks with body filler and sanding it down (saved me a few pounds too!!)

I did not opt for a leather dash but the material used had a very thin foam backing and with a firm hand went back in no probs. I had a pain with the air vents though by the windscreen.  From my experience I found it easier to screw them loosely in before putting the dash back in.

Hope this helps, you shouldn't have any trouble.

BTW I also need a glove box insert, so if anyone else has another one kicking about please let me know.


All the Best

  Hi all,

  Just spend Monday morning removing the dash board, binicle, A pillar
  covers, knee pads, center console and head linings as I am going to
  have them re-trimmed, the california sun was not kind to my car :-)

  Anyway Looking at the way the dash board fits, has anyone had any
  experience of recovering one?

  I am taking it to an upholsterer I have used before and would like
  to go full leather on everything I have re-done but I am not sure if
  the dash will go back in with the added thinkness of the covering.

  Also does anyone have a glove box insert for sale as mine is
  completly knackered.

  Thanks


  James RG
