(Seat) Back(s) To The Future

Another significant milestone for the restoration of the Suburban Coach was passed recently. The seat backs which have been in dry storage were installed in the first three compartments.

Guy was on hand with his camera to capture the action.  The seats have been stored in a restored goods van as shown in the picture.

Once liberated from storage the seat backs and dividers were installed in the coach compartments.  Here is the view of compartment one with the seat backs in place.

Next along compartment two receives it's upper upholstery, note also the restored picture frames and luggage racks. 
Compartment three followed suit with it's divider now in place.
Here you can see how the open wall is covered by the seat backs to close off the compartment. We are looking in to compartment three from number four.
Here John B is receiving the next seat back for installation.


Well done to the team on reaching this important milestone. It's always nice to see things finally coming together. Thanks to Guy for the pictures.

Until next time.
