Recommendations for Leather recon

[Chris_B86]

Hi guys,

Looking at a cardinal red interior for the project car, but it's original and a bit worn, split in the bolster etc.

Does anyone have any recommendations in the Manchester or North West area for repairs and reconditioning to bring it back to life?

From the pics, it looks like drivers seat right hand bolster has split on the seam, and left hand has a hole. Looks like there's a hole in the rear arm rest too.

I just fancy something different than black leather and think the red would look well against the sterling silver. It's currently got grey cloth



Comes with matching door cards too

been for sale ages hasn't it that, how much is it up for atm?

i was going to suggest gliptone mate, as that's very good for rejuvenating leather and keeping it in fine fettle.

It's the first time I've seen it, never been interested in going to leather before, but my daily has leather and I've gotten used to it

It's on ebay with a starting bid of £300, seats and door cards. Is it worth that?

From the looks of it those need a good clean, but will probably scrub up well. Any upholstery place should technically be able to do a decent repair job...?

check this site for everything else to get them looking new liquidleather.com

They do look a bit on the "brown" side which is why I think they need a good clean.

They look well worn out, will need a lot of tlc
