i am just awaiting the arrival of some replica sport seats (in leather) to go in it, which i hope will make it a bit easier for me to see out of the window.. i am also going to treat it to some new lenses for the lights. and some new seat belts.

I always thought the cleaning & polishing job was Lazzas?
Fantastic improvement on the steering wheel, what did you use?

Larry does the outside & engine/electrics & i do all the inside & upholstory


after many trials and errors of restoring Leather/cloth i have found that good old fashioned liquid boot polish can't be beat.. its dead easy to use, cheap and lasts..

just remember to let dry & then buff between coats else your end up with black(or what ever colour) clothes
