I'm looking to re-upholster the interior of my vehicle. I thought to do it myself but my friends advise against it. I found what looks like a suitable place to order what I need, then have a professional finish the job. Has anyone heard of or used World Upholstery and Trim at the following URL: http://www.worlduph.com/primo.htm ? I will be searching the San Antonio, Tx area also. Thank you for any information you can provide during my continued efforts to improve my Jag.

Vintage Jaguar models from the XK120 to the XKE's and the XJ series are some of the most sought after production automobiles nowadays. Not only that, but they are some of the best classic cars to actually ride. So restoring them using the correct soft-trim is very important in maximizing their value. World Upholstery & Trim started as a company that specialized in classic Jaguar models and after 30 years of production we have some of the most authentic and complete collection of soft-trim parts for classic Jaguar models. In fact, we offer complete interior kits that includes all the soft-trim parts that can be replaced in your interior trim assuring a hassle-free and matching restoration.

One of the upholstery shops in San Antonio buys their supplies from GAHH online at the following URL: http://www.gahhinc.com/. They have a large selection and also provide interior kits designed for specific Makes and Models (including Series 2, XJ6). You can also buy extra leather or vinyl for the door panels and/or console. Time to test my skills. Stew, I will use your "keys to success" and hope I don't make too many mistakes.

Leroy,
I haven't heard of the firm you asked of however, a recent (in the last year) article in "Auto Restorer" dealt with do it yourself upholstery. It seemed like a snap. Two keys to success: 1 - use the old material as a pattern and study it carefully before undoing any of the stitching so you know how it all goes together and 2 - buy a used sewing machine capable of stitching leather. Look in Hemmings Motor News for sources of supply.
Thanks,
