Been pretty slack over Christmas but had the seats sent to the trimmers and picked em up today. Did a sweet job too

Had the back also retrimmed as well as some extras, includes Jesus Straps, sunvisors and door handles.

Feels like real fake leather heh heh

Which trimmer did you use, it looks as though he did a great job.

Cheers Jim

[NES304]

Jim, I used a guy who does cash work and very very good with prices. He has been in the trade 30 plus years but works for the Defence Force. So unfortunately I can't send you to a shop but for anyone who would like his number I can pass it on. He'll take care of you. Only problem is that you'll have to get seats to his house. So for anyone in Brisbane interested......

When I return to AMB I will have to get the guys contact of you. Should be back in town this time 2008.

I have a set of seats stored under my house in Ippy so If I get back before then I might have to organise some trim work so they will be ready for my return.

Cheers Jim

I had to move the car today and with a bench seat missing my son brought out a Barbie pink chair to help steer it. Had a laugh

[NES304]

Thanks to Rare Spares Bris I took delivery of all the rubbers needed for the car (no thanks to the Courier company that Stuffed around with my gear for 3 days that should've taken an hour to deliver)

Then I dropped it two inches all round,

And installed the new Accellerator pedal which is a cable conversion from Rares

[NES304]

new accellerator cable was installed and you can see here the cable is mounted via a bracket on the base of the carby, the cable pulls the brass lever which is attatched to the front side of the carby butterfly shaft

[NES304]

that last photo was obviously a stuff up but i was trialling painting the badge. I painted and let dry then wiped over with a rag soaked in thinnners to remove excess paint.
Here's the pic with the bonnet bolt accel cable

Nes, I'd love to have the trimmers number.

Have sent a PM

Cheers
Dave

[TAYZ]

Looking good there Nes, did you paint it yrself??  What type of paint did you use?? are you running a red FC flash on it??(thanks for the FE bonnet surround)

                                                                       tayz

                                      

[NES304]

Yes I did it myself and yes for the red flash. I just need the paint. I used PPG Acrylic (easy to fix my stuff ups)

[oldgmh]

well done Nes.    ;D

I saw the car when you first got it and could see that it was a big project, so give yourself a pat on the back - especially as you have done most of the work yourself.   :o :o ;) :D :D  

regards.
