At Kartal Auto, we specialize in restoring the luxury and sophistication of classic cars. Our recent Aston Martin DB2 Upholstery Restoration was an exciting project that required a perfect blend of modern precision and respect for vintage craftsmanship. This iconic vehicle, celebrated for its elegance and performance, demanded the utmost care and attention to detail.
During the restoration process, our expert team encountered several challenges but successfully implemented tailored solutions to bring the interior back to its original splendor.
Challenges & Expert Solutions
1. Aged & Cracked Leather Upholstery
Issue: The original leather upholstery had developed cracks and signs of severe aging, causing the seats and trim to lose their luxurious feel.
Solution: We carefully restored the leather using premium conditioners to rejuvenate the surface. For sections beyond repair, we replaced the leather with period-appropriate, high-quality hides and meticulously hand-stitched them to match the car’s original design.
2. Worn & Uneven Seat Padding
Issue: The seat cushions had become flat and uneven due to years of use, reducing comfort and support.
Solution: We reconstructed the seat padding using high-density foam and traditional materials like horsehair, ensuring that each seat regained its original shape and comfort level. This restored not only the comfort but also the car’s signature elegance.
3. Faded & Damaged Carpeting
Issue: The carpeting in the cabin and trunk had faded, frayed, and showed significant signs of wear.
Solution: We replaced the old carpet with luxurious wool carpeting, custom-fitted to the vehicle’s exact specifications. This upgrade brought both style and durability, revitalizing the car’s interior.
4. Worn Door Panels & Trim
Issue: The door panels had become faded, and the leather trim was peeling, detracting from the vehicle’s overall aesthetic.
Solution: We carefully reupholstered the door panels using matching leather and restored the trim to its original condition, ensuring both the visual appeal and functionality of the doors.
5. Deteriorated Headliner
Issue: The headliner fabric had sagged and worn out over time, affecting the interior’s elegance.
Solution: We installed a new headliner made of high-quality, era-appropriate fabric, ensuring a perfect fit and a fresh, clean look that complemented the car’s vintage style.
