    Over with Luke at Gary Angel Racing last Friday fitting his door cards and rear bench to the Karmann Ghia. This car has a lot of personality and the interior just adds to this.

    The final pieces of the puzzle for Luke’s Karmann Ghia interior. A pair of cushions to sit either side of the rear bench and a small infill panel to fill the gap between the base and back of the rear bench.

    Marios’ lovely crossover bay down with me for the day over the weekend to get the new door cards and seats fitted.
    I’ve reupholstered these to match his existing RnR bed.
    Seats mounted on the stock runners as they should be, unlike the previous seats which some kind soul had welded to the seat tub!

    Thank you! I certainly get a nice variety of work through my little workshop.
    Just drop me a message when you get round to the interior; I usually have a few seat frames in so can always sort you out with some seats if you need them. :thumbsup:

    RnR bed cushions and side cushion reupholstered for @Chrisd's camper to match the door cards I’ve just done for him.
    A bold striped fabric always looks good in an old van in my opinion. :thumbsup:

    A set of 5 cushions to go in Erica and Martin’s Eriba Puck caravan. These have been reupholstered in the same material as the cushions I did for their teardrop trailer last year. So whether they’re towing the puck or the teardrop, the upholstery will match their splitscreen interior.

    These have been a good few weeks in the making, but here they finally are!

    Taking inspiration from the classic Porsche 911 singer style seats, I’ve reupholstered these 911 seats in a cream vinyl with brown fabric inserts. These are destined for Russ’s Karmann Ghia and I can’t wait to see them fitted.

    This month sees another bay window interior coming together for @Marty SmartyCat's camper.

    Here’s a sneaky glimpse of the front covers to give you a feel of what’s to come:
