There have been questions about what fabric I used. Here are some pics with a ruler so you can get an idea of scale and finish of the fabric.

That's brilliant. Since you mentioned Jersey material I thought it would be cool if someone reupholstered with their favorite team/players jersey. I don't have a windscreen but it's good to know that the screen can be replaced or perhaps someone can build their own wind screen?"I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Bought three yards of this jersey mesh.
The wife recommended that to match the top. I agreed.
The windscreen is disassembled. The weather stripping is soaking in a treatment of Poorboys Leather Stuff. The entire assembly was scrubbed with PB All Purpose Cleaner and a stiff nylon brush. It was nasty.
The carrying case has a few small holes. It was moldy, too. It was sent for a trip inside the washing machine. Hang to dry. Lysol sprayed inside to finish off nastiness. The outside treated with the same PB LS. Carry bag looks really nice. Smells decent, too. One zipper pull is stuck. Occasionally spray PB Blaster into it. It has yet to budge.
Will follow steps to re screen once material arrives.
I see no need to replace hardware. It does not protrude beyond the rigid piece. Anyone with more info? I'd be good for going all stainless hardware. Just to dress it all up.. No stone unturned.
Finally, the vertical support bar needs scoured and repainted. It is a bit rough and incongruent with the condition of the remaining parts.Last edited by TimeMachinE30; 01-28-2015, 06:47 PM.Comment
