Now that we have some stock front seats for this 1970 VW Karmann Ghia we can finish up the interior restoration. We begin by removing the original seat covers and padding and showing how the original upholstery was installed. Then, while the paint is drying on the exposed areas on the seat frame, we recover the headrests. Then we wrap the seat springs in burlap, cover them with new seat foam and wrap the seats in some new upholstery to finally finish off the interior on this VW. Follow along as we finish up and say good bye to this beautiful example of an affordable, coach built car.

Nice to see Ghia work.

You make it look way too easy my friend! Nice job Sam!

@Sam_Mebane 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Tim, I've had some practice! It isn't that difficult though, like I said after doing my first set, it's a little more difficult than pulling a pillow case over a pillow.

I hope it’s that easy when I get to doing my ‘69 Type 1! I like the look of that particular upholstery. What are the materials and colors?

@Sam_Mebane 10 месяцев назад

The vinyl is #22 Cream White, the insert is #74 Sand Tweed.

When i slide my seat onto the rail,..it pops off. I think 1 side of the rail doesnt hold the seat. Not sure if its the rail on the body, or the rail of the seat that is damaged..

Ive got a spike that broke off the seat frame. Any advice on how to.fix? Weld in a piece of sheet metal perhaps?

@Sam_Mebane 7 месяцев назад

That’s all we do, yes. Some good quality sheet metal, cut to the appropriate shape and welded in place will do the job. In our experience most of the premade spikes aren’t good metal so they break as soon as they are folded over. If you can, an old damaged German fender, etc will work the best.
