As our 1951 Austin Devon is a commercial vehicle, it has unfortunately had a tough life and the seats are certainly showing this. The driver’s side base has been bolstered with additional springs to try and prolong its life, but the outer frame has broken on both sides and required welding.

The same for the back, which had also broken. Lydia has covered the seat in new backing cloth, which provides a stable base for the horse hair to be put on top. Once the horsehair arrives, Lydia can continue fitting the seat covers she has made.

While Lydia was doing that, the bonnet and some of the other components were having epoxy primer applied.
