Folding rear seat squab

Great, thanks for the photo shots a great help. I could see the holes through the board but retrimmed these had been covered over by the new material and left out, hence why the parcel shelf moved. Many thanks, now know what I need to do.

No probs! Best of luck.

We put our car back on the road Jan 2019, so four years now (after a 4.5 year restoration). Really enjoying travelling in it. Wishing the same for you and yours!

All, big thank you to you all for the advice and photos of the rear parcel shelf and folding rear seat. All now completed and refitted along with new parcel shelf. The original parcel shelf was hardboard which was badly warped with the damp etc so this has been replaced using the same thickness board but in marine plywood.

Wow. Pretty cool to see it all in the Ambla/wheat material instead of black. (Is that what it's called?)

Sea Ranch, the material I sourced from a local trim supplier by chance. I’d take a sample of the original which I assumed was Magnolia, however as soon they saw it they said “Wadi Beige” i was well impressed. Seems he had to get this by special import for some dealer doing a retrim on a Europa. They had a full roll but the dealer only wanted a few meters, so they have plenty left although I’m considering buying enough if I ever need to carry out a full retrim.

I have both door cards to replace as like the original parcel shel they are only hardboard and have warped with the damp uk conditions. Plan is to remake the door cards using the same gauge marine ply as we did with the parcel shelf which looks and fits perfectly.

You are having fun, scoring materials, getting jobs done. Good for you. Hope you enjoying driving it, too (if it's on the road). We are travelling in ours and really enjoying that.

Best regards . . .
