Thanks for the great comments guys, glad you like the seats. Well it’s time to get rid of the chrome on these parts.

Great work Ian. If the rest of the car looks as bad as those seats, it's going to be quite special. I've used the bleach trick once, and was stunned by the results.

 

[papa 695]

A little more work done.

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Methinks you are enjoying this, Ian?

You may be right there Neil

It's starting to look like a candidate for Car SOS! Nice work Ian, glad you're enjoying it, I'm enjoying seeing it come together.

Dashboard completed, it had a radio once.
