At Kartal Auto, we are passionate about preserving the legacy of classic automobiles with expert craftsmanship and attention to detail. Our recent Aston Martin 2-Liter Seat Repair project was a true testament to our dedication, as we meticulously restored the seats to their original beauty and comfort while maintaining authenticity.
During the repair process, we encountered several challenges, but our skilled team implemented tailored solutions to ensure a flawless restoration.
Challenges & Expert Solutions
1. Cracked & Faded Leather Upholstery
Issue: The original leather seats had developed deep cracks, fading, and stiffness due to age and prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Solution: We carefully conditioned and restored the salvageable leather, while replacing severely damaged sections with high-quality, period-correct leather. Each seat was hand-stitched to match the original pattern, ensuring a seamless restoration.
2. Worn & Uneven Seat Padding
Issue: The seats had lost their shape and support, leading to discomfort and an uneven appearance.
Solution: We rebuilt the seat cushions using high-density foam and traditional horsehair padding, restoring both comfort and the car’s original ergonomic feel.
3. Loose & Frayed Stitching
Issue: The stitching on the seats had weakened over time, leading to unraveling and fraying seams.
Solution: Our expert artisans re-stitched the seats using durable, vintage-style thread, ensuring both durability and a factory-original look.
4. Corroded Seat Frames & Mechanisms
Issue: The metal seat frames showed signs of rust and corrosion, affecting the structure and adjustability.
Solution: We dismantled, treated, and refinished the seat frames with rust-resistant coatings, ensuring stability and smooth adjustment mechanisms.
5. Worn-Out Armrests & Side Panels
Issue: The armrests and side panels had peeling leather, worn-out padding, and visible scratches.
Solution: We reupholstered these areas with matching leather and high-quality padding, restoring the luxurious touch and comfort.
