21.01.2022 #Unexpected_review What a fantastic surprise it was to receive this unexpected review on my #Google web page from my customer yesterday. I replaced the collapsed headlining in his 2010 Commodore with a new headlining (see attached pic with review)... #Feel_free_to_share_this_post Regards #Rob_Gordon #Traditional_Motor_Trimming 0407372848

20.01.2022 #Part_One of #retrimming a #classic_old_car... Thought I'd start publishing a few more things on my page... of major retrim work done last year... (in between my other passion of selling Real Estate) This one was a Bently done for a terrific bloke and his family who own/run #NeilMcCleanAutomotives in #Midvale.... They are a regular client of mine and they highly recommend their clients to me also... in this case it was an "S Series Bently" to which I am extremely grateful for with the relationship we've had now for many years. It was done back to the original style/design/specifications as done in their Bently factory all those years ago and the colour was similar to the original trim. It was retrimmed in #RobertMuirhead leather supplied by #Leffler leather.... in all 6 hides were used. The flutes were stuffed the traditional way with fluting irons and #Dunlop_Enduro foam was used on heavyweight calico. The door trims clips used were all factory and we're all hand beaten back to shape due to damage done when removing them off the old boards... I could go on for hours.... and Motor Trimmers really know what goes into this type of restoration work. Please enjoy these photos and feel free to share to others who may like looking at my true handy work... after 40 years in the trade... I am not arrogant in saying I am at the top of my game.

20.01.2022 Had the privilege of making a canopy for my old mate Darren Rullo on his ute from #Group_One_Constructions He like other fantastic clients get the "Rolls Royce" treatment when having work done by me... #Feel_free_to_share_this post to anyone who may be interested in having any car upholstery done in the future... #Canopies #NYLEX #ykk #Moss_hooks #Carr_fasteners #Terko_threads Kind regards #Rob_Gordon #Traditional_Motor_Trimming 0407372848

17.01.2022 My immediate family know me as a tight arse... when it comes to $$$...lol Well my sewing machine bench finally got a change out after my dad helped me make the old one 33 years ago... Even the #singersewingmachinemachine almost had a #coronary the other week, after it had a major overhaul after 10 or so years... ... Enjoy the before and after pics...lol It hasnt stopped the quality of my workmanship I might add... as I don't "scrimp on quality" for my #motortrimming clients... at all!! Have a great weekend eveyone in all that you do Regards #Rob_Gordon #TraditionalMotorTrimming 0407372848

16.01.2022 Picked the best day for making/sewing these reproduced genuine style #HX #Holden #GTS seat trims today in my day off from #RealEstate. You know it's hot when the scissors are too hot to pick up in the workshop... Must have been close 44 if I was a betting man in #SwanView today. #TraditionalMotorTrimming... #hx #holden #seat_retrim #holdengts #originalstyle #reproduction #trims Enjoy... #RobGordon www.traditionalmotortrimming.com.au [email protected] 0407372848

15.01.2022 I was asked to do a floor in a #Mack_truck the other day... @ #PREMIER_TRUCK_PAINTERS with #John_Naismith It's a little different to a standard floor, and as such had an inspection plate that needed to be exact to seat the plastic locking strip to the main part of the cab. After a handful of hours... job done... at 58 though... lugging 30kgs-40kgs up ladders and muscling in a tight area does knock you about... cant let the young punks think old fellas "can't cut it..." if yo...u pardon the pun #DALEYS_TRIM_SUPPLIES @ #KEWDALE #WAVEBAR_DECKING #MACK #TRUCKS #PREMIER_TRUCK_PAINTERS @ #MUNDARING For all enquiries relating to this or anything relating to #Motor_Trimming. .. feel free to contact me : #RobGordon #TraditionalMotorTrimming www.traditionalmotortrimming.com.au 0407372848

12.01.2022 #Ford_Capri bucket seat retrim... #Original_design including.. #Basketweave & #RoadRunner_vynil from #Daleys_trim_supplies... Feel free to share this post who may want their auto upholstery needs met... I don't mean to offend tradies... but there are trimmers... then there are trimmers highly experienced that dont need to unpick old seat trims to take a pattern of them to make a new cover... (see photos attached) I do rebuild seat bases with heavy guage springs better than the factory ones... weld frames where "stressed or fractured"... I always adhere calico to the sheet foam for extra strength... always!!! Not the carpet underlay with a "scrim back"... and hand made piping... no pre-made Feel free to contact me on my details below to answer all of your queries... Regards #RobGordon #TraditionalMotorTrimming 0407372848

09.01.2022 Finally finished converting a standard rear cushion and back for a HX #holden 4 door sedan to replicate them to look like the original #GTS seats... took a little time and got there in the end... The client sourced the original design fabric online from the USA... about 190.00 aussie dollars per meter... #feel_free_to_share_this_post to anyone who may be interested.... Regards Rob Gordon TMT

03.01.2022 Had the privilege of doing a #boat_cover in #acrylic #canvas for an old footy/cricket mate Dave Catania this week... I normally would make the new cover while the boat was onsite, but to keep time and costs down a little bit, I used the old one shown in the photos... with some finer adjustments such as lashing points, wear patches and eyelets/stretch rope instead of tonneau loops at the back to take the load a little better... #feel_free_to_share_this_post to anyone who may b...e interested... cheers Have a great weekend everyone... Regards #Rob_Gordon #traditionalmotortrimming 0407372848

02.01.2022 Great yarn... Please read the entire post as it relates to why we charge what we do in Motor Trimming or the manufacturing of "One Off's" that you can't buy off the shelf This is so true!!... RG
