Upholstery material

[Brendan D25]

I will soon be looking for some upholstery material for my 48 D25 and am wondering how many yards would I need to do both seats including the back frame of the front seat and the four door panels. Brendan.

I was thinking about 10 yards would do the entire job but like you said I should add a few more. Thanks Norm.

I purchased 8 or 9 yards for my business coupe. I did the seat cushion, the seat backs (the coup has hard backed folding seats with a leatherette cover, so no material was used there. I also dis the two door panels, the package shelf (which on the coupe is about twice the size of the sedan, and a drop down panel between the package shelf and the leatherette of the space between the trunk and back seat. I have about 2 yards left over. My guess is that you would need 16 to 18 for a four door.

Greg;

Did you get the PM I sent you?

I think I bought 17 or 17 1/2 yards for the convert.....for seats, panels and (i think) inside of trunk....on advice from the upholstry guy. The material is still sitting there.....has not been installed yet as I decided it is not quite the color it appeared in the store--therefore not quite what I want. So, not sure how many yards it would actually take.

Thanks guys, the material I am looking at getting is a solid grey similar to Greg's car, at least that way I dont' have to bother with matching patterns. Brendan.
