Thanks Simmo. Me neither!

Stewart, not to place too fine a point on this... but you won't get to see it on the road anyway.... not for at least a week, by my reckonning....
You'll be in the driver's seat for the first week - probably take your meals in there.....you need to leave the vehicle to see it on the road.....

frats,

Have'nt seen any progress pics for a while Stu ?

Hey Daz thanks for the push - I'll try and get some pics up soon. IOnce we get another coast on the dash I can then remove the plastic that's protecting the front end from over spray and then some pics...

Tim - the EK is going to run before the FB will...that's what you get for missbehaving...banished!

Progress report n pics needed, thanks.

Stewart - surely you have done "something"..... I'd hate to be that FB at the moment..... but, thinking of it - such is the case of my EK... no action! other than paying the annual registration (another year not used!).....

frats,

Dave and I might have done a little bit here and there...

Posted: **Wed Aug 08, 2012 9:07 pm**

June 2012...First Dave got into the 1200 wet rubbing...

then cut it with green max...

I delivered the front seat, two front door trims for new arms rests and headlining to Daniel at a Stitch n Time...

During July I derusted the front seat guides and polishing and cleaned the front seat sides...

I used molasses...thanks Danny (OldMansLacky) for reminding me of this great cheap and effective rust remover...

I then hit it with the karcher...

Thomas put some primer on...

Some original factory markings...OK..

I was hoping that the orginal vinyl on the front seat could have been saved. Unfortunately the 50 year old vinyl in this case had gone hard and brittle was was starting to crack and split all over the place. So the seat was recovered in a close match and some original inserts were used and I sourced others (thanks Russell)...

Daniel did an amazing job...the whole seat was rebuilt with new hand formed springs and new foam...

Thomas put a coat of primer on all the rims...

then Dave covered them with Snowcrest...

Dave also repainted the dash...

and got into some more buffing...
