Reply To: Interior of a 1949 BL
Paul Barnard
Hi Larry,
Sorry for the quality of the pictures but hopefully you can see what I mean. The line across the lining by the side of the seat is the result of having been protected by the rather nasty looking piece of material in the last picture which was actually part of a set of period covers which matched those fitted to the seats. Having recovered all my seats I’m now forced to do all the interior but I think I may get some professional help with the headlining which frightens me to death…I’m still struggling with having to nail everything in.
The car spent 25 years sitting in a basement garage in the south of France having been owned by father and then son until it was laid up when he bacame 65. Hence the original interior.
Out of interest, did you purchase Renel’s ready covered door panels? When I came to fit mine I discovered that the clip holes in the new panels did not line up with the holes in the door – bummer – took a lot of work to sort out.
Hope this helps
Paul
