Restoration Manual: Classic Car Interiors The Complete, Illustrated Step-by-Step Manual
 Covers a wide range of vehicles. Techniques can be applied to virtually all makes and models, pre-war and post-war.
The home restoration of car seats, carpets, trims and headlinings has largely been regarded as a no-go area by most DIY vehicle enthusiasts. The main reason has probably been a lack of knowledge and therefore confidence, rather than the absence of any desire to carry out such work.
The practical and illustrated step-by-step advice in this book—though aimed primarily at owners of classic cars—provides the "tricks of the trade" and the know-how to enable the interior of a car of any age to be renovated successfully.
Contents include:
- Cleaning and restoration techniques for renovating soiled but sound interiors
- How to strip a car interior for complete renovation
- Clear guidelines for dismantling, repairing and re-upholstering seats
- The "secrets" of producing new headlinings
- The making and fitting of new carpets, and the fabrication of replacement trim panels
- How to make new soft-tops and install a sun roof
- Useful contact names and addresses
The author is a long-established motoring writer with many books to his credit and is a regular contributor to the practical and classic motoring press. Here, he removes the mystique and puts car interior renovation well within the scope of the DIY vehicle restorer.
