Okay, so here are a few pictures of the mg td door. It has a different trim than ratty's, so I didn't have to sew through wood. Instead, I just wrapped and stapled. The leather was purchased from a discount store that deals in lots from failed businesses. So, I don't know where it actually came from originally. Spent the whole day sewing the seats and finally figured a way to get the hook timing right. Four layers of leather and cushion material on a 1911 Singer. Yipe.

I have sewed through two layers. Three layers are iffy. But when you add the 1/2" foam for the seat, it doesn't want to pick up the bobbin thread. Anyone know how to adjust the hook timing (if that's what I need) on a 1911 Singer G-series. How do you adjust your machine when you have to sew more layers?

Unbelievably, I just finished sewing new door panels for a 1952 MG TD. Yours seems to be a little different design, but if you want some pics how I accomplished it, I would be happy to oblige. Now, I am on to sewing the seats and it is presenting it's own challenges. We lucked out with a leather color that is perfect. So, we're switching from the old vinyl. Of course, that means lots of work. Anyway, hit me up if you want pics.
