So the car is now off the road for a while. The shakken
has expired and won't be renewed until I've rebuilt to car to my liking.
However this is going to cost some money and have some waiting time as various
parts are found and shipped to be fitted. First target will be a cooling
system upgrade, but while I'm waiting on some prices and availability, will
start on the interior.
Am not a fan of my dull grey interior. Love the leather
and wood trim, just the colour does not do much for me and there are better
colour combinations out there. So over the next few months I will be
doing a re-trim of the interior. The first step is to do a test and see if
I can handle this myself.
Step 1 is get the smallest piece of leather trim off the car
possible.
Next is to carefully follow each of the instructions in the
small leather colour kit from Furniture Clinic
Then after about a day of work with various drying
times....tada!!!!
Very easy and a good quality finish, even if I do say so
myself. The kit comes complete with all the cleaners, preparation,
colourants, finishers, and spray kit you need to do the job. The only difference
in the kit I received to the one the folks in the UK would receive, is I do not
get a can of gas for the spray due to postage restrictions. Not an issue
though as I have a mini compressor for modelling that works just as good if not
better.
