Interior Panels

Brian and Lydia have continued their work on our 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4.

Using the new plywood panels that Brian had cut out for her, Lydia covered them in leather at the top. The bottom part is a piece of carpet with bound edges, so she also cut and sewed this , then attached it to the panel with staples.

The wooden-shaped pieces are simply covered directly with leather, so Lydia cut the material out and glued it straight onto them.

Parts of the interior were painted black before Brian repaired the tailgate top trim panel as well as the headliner.

Lydia then covered the pre-made wooden panels in headlining fabric. Some panels required a small amount of padding, so she added some scrim foam to these before covering them in wool headlining material.
