So I took it to this auto leather specialist and he tore away the original material and reupholstered all door panels complete with German Leather, meaning from top to bottom, as well as the door inserts. Certain areas where there are curves/folds, joins were made with double-stitch work, which apparently made the door panels look better than the ori stuff.

This method solved all my problems for a very long time to come and looks gorgeous, too.

Were your charges of USD125.00 (per door) for the inserts only, or was it for the whole door with new skin/leather/PU ?

The costs for my 4 doors with full leatherwork was roughly USD 550.00.

Cheers mate.

Yeah I was quoted about the same.

Happy Birthday, but the way. 1959 was a good year!
