I assumed it was dead also. Looking forward to getting the front seats restored in January and getting to use it loads in the spring/summer :)

I've now removed the leather seats and GTE astra steering wheel for refurb.


Leather Doctor in Ballymoney is doing the work, and should have it all back by the end of the month. He will remove the original surface then recolour them and finish with a matt coating which will hopefully have them looking like new again. The rear seats haven't been sat in and are perfect.

Also - got a pair of brand new rear quarter interior panels from Rich. Will get some photos next weekend when I fit them :)

Leather work sounds good and will be interesting to see.

That's it for now, Nothing else to do except fit a headunit, drive and enjoy it, and save for a rebuild in the future.

Looks fantastic mate! Can't wait to see it in the metal. Time to enjoy for a bit now!
