Door card
-
how hard is it to change it from fabric to leather?
-
to recover them you mean??? not hard if your an unholsterer, probs very hard if not, but i aint done it just a random assessment
-
rsroadkiller (sp) has his retrimmed dont know if he got his done proffesionally tho.
-
yeah retrim them, wanted to ava go myself, i will ask him then
-
fookin hard!
its not just a case of rippin the old fabric off and sticking some new leather on top…
It has to be sticked in 3 parts, as if it were just stuck, after a few hot days... the leather would just peel away from the door card and become saggy....
Next time i take some pics of my car, i'l take one of the door cards so you can see what i mean :)

What about fiberglass resin, painted over the original door cards, sanded smooth then painted and clear coated?
Has anyone played with this stuff? I'd love to know if that would work….
-
had a quick play with it on the mini, but its real hard to get the paint to bond with it!
over time the paint re-acts and cracks and goes all funny…
Hopefully over this year i'l be gettin some custom door cards made up of complete fibreglass, so i'l keep ya all updated :P
