my reupholstery build

is that dayton ohio?
oooh, the money I would pay for something think that!
that is sick i finished my 1j swap and was riding around this week thinking about new covers.
is there any way to make temples with sew lines?
how many yards did you use in total?

i tried this once on a girlfriends car (she could sew), it did not go well

ya im from dayton ohio. but im open to do work around sept when i am done with school. Ive made patterns of all the parts to the seats but to mark the seam lines is a no go. im using a 1/2 seam allowance and really you wouldnt stay at that because of the curves and conners.

im liking it a lot. I bet the materials are expensive though.

 

[MA70Snowman]

that is BAD ASS man! really talented there buddy, please make templets or publish them online in a PDF format or something, hell market and sell it, I'll paypal now to be first in line! once again great work and I can't wait to see final pics.

1/2 seam allowance? i have no idea what that means but i'll keep you in mind. the patterns would do me no good to me as i cannot follow a sew line for nothing. but if they where for sale i might buy.

This is inspiring me to start small. Soon I'm going to add foam to my saggy arm rest too.

 

[enjoi.this]

Great workmanship on this! Looks awesome so far, cant wait to see the finished product

 

[FullNelson]

I think this looks like a great winter project, It would have a lesser chance of busted knuckles, AND its something youll notice all the time.

 

[tbcmorris]

Cant wait to see it all finished, I'v always thought about working on something like this, especially recovering the entire door panels. My seats are great thought so I cant really warrant it. Keep up the great work

Looks like some damage to part of either the Targa or the a pillar. I love the seat work. How do I go about getting some of those? Also looks like you need one of Empera's ebrake lever boots.

 

[rossman3s]

I love the sides and headrests, and the fronts are pretty nice. I would love to see the rear seats done in your style. The doors look great.

Nicely done.

ya the a pillar molding is starting to pull away but ive heard about some sort of shims on the targ bolts where you can adjust the way the targa sets?

im able to do your seats if you need them done. pm me for a quote and some ideas on fabric you have in mind

oh and ebrake boot i havnt got around to sewing one up yet lol

I'll check my manuals on the shim bolts. I got the 86 owner's manual and the Haynes (pos manual, cuz I haven't gotten to Savannah yet to get one from the dealer).

ya its a big thought in my mind right now, its just difficault to recover a seat with somthing thats everyones going to like you know. so i figure i could get some opinions on some fabric then go to town on them, or even buy up every seat thats for sell and do a veriety of options on them .. but i dunno

im deff down to do any work thats comes my way

Would be nice to recover my seats. I would like what you have, but have the centers black, damn.. would be great, sad thing is I may go with other seats.

 

[nerfkhat]

I think your door panels still need some work. there are some major wrinkles on the ends. But the seats look great.

I had to trim my new targa seals with scissors. I trimmed only the part on the targa itself. Once cut, my seals matched up pretty well. Better than what you are showing in your pictures. I wonder if you have the original targa top that came with your car?

There are two places that could be leaking on the DS. First is on the targa itself. If you don't tear down and seal it like the step-by-step instructions posted on SM, it will leak (I had to do mine twice). Second place is behind the seal over the windshield. On the DS, there is a dam that catches water and debris behind the seal, above the corner of the windshield. Over the years, it rusted badly on my car. After I had it cleaned out and the dam removed, it leaked. So I grabbed the RTV and sealed it up.
