Lounge room comfort in a T3
Posted: 05 Aug 2009, 01:44
I thought a few of you might like to have a laugh on how I used a leather lounge suite to redo the door cards on my 91 Transporter.
I've owned a black leather lounge (massive Post & Rail) for the last 20 years. My wife has always hated it, so the two seater was given to a friend and the two single seaters had been relegated to the garage to be sold/disposed of. I bought it when I first moved from home and even though the timber on it had started to get shabby, the leather was still very soft and had developed a worn look to it. It also had some nice stitching through it.
My existing door cards were pretty trashed so I thought I may as well try reupolstering for a bit of fun. Worst that could happen is I just get the cards re-done professionally. This is definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but it makes me smile whenever I see it, and makes my bus a little more individual...
All the best
