Holdsworth Villa seams & roof lining
Posted: 24 Mar 2012, 10:43
Had my Hi top Holdsworth VIlla for about a year now, and now it's time to divert many beer vouchers for the well overdue TLC. Fundamentally she's very solid, having spent most of her life in sunny Spain (but is a UK vehicle), but a few areas need a bit of a tweak.
Gonna start with the seams, which don't look too bad, but need sorting (think I know what I need to do here) and then the roof lining - actually all the linings in the HiTop - are looking pretty sorry. I don't know much about how roof linings are put together / attached, but before just hacking it all out (and regretting it later), I wonder if anyone has any tips / knows of a "how to" site, pics etc...?
In particular I would appreciate any steers on where to get material.My instinct is to try and stay as original as possible (it's a sort of oatmeal coloured coarse sackcloth), but open to other ideas. The seats are generally quite good (drivers is just starting to wear) but If I can find the right material I might do these to.
I also gather that " to insulate or not to insulate" is a bit of a debate...
