Whenever you are doing a big project, it’s easy to go overboard. Your “cheap” fix might suddenly become expensive. The first step when fixing old cars affordably is to setting a budget and sticking to it. Classic car parts can be costly, so your budget will help dictate what projects you can tackle when fixing the car.
In classic American cars, the upholstery is often where the majority of the problems lie. Classic Ford cars and classic Chevy cars that were used normally during their lifetime often have upholstery that has taken a beating. Seat covers and floor mats can cover the problem areas well, and blend in nicely with the look you want to achieve, with a smaller price tag than doing a complete replacement.
Next, look on the dash and other hard areas of the car, inspecting for scratches and dents. It is easy to have these repaired for a fraction of the cost of replacing the dash or door. While you are at it, be sure to look at the exterior. If the interior shines and the exterior has dents and scratches everywhere, the car isn’t going to look its best.
Cleaning can be one of the best ways to restore the look of old cars. Using the right product, like 303® Automotive Leather 3-in-1 Complete Care, is a great way to start your car’s deep clean by focusing on the leather. Get into the nitty-gritty parts of the vehicle, cleaning all of the crevices between seats, in the center console and everywhere else. With your leather cleaned and conditioned you’ll be one step closer to your goal.
In addition to these basic ideas, consider some easy DIY repairs, including:
