Given the recent arctic weather...
...the wuss in me decided I needed an indoor project so it was time to make a start on Occie's interior makeover with the Woolies kit I picked up at the NEC last month.
Unsurprisingly, the driver's seat was showing it's age and general neglect worst of all...
The front passenger seat was a little better, but with a 1" slit across the front of the cushion. I'd picked up a no-rips (though filthy) driver's seat for a fiver when I went to collect the gearbox I'd bought on ebay, so the plan was to use the the cushion on the passenger side and the squab to replace that on the driver's side...
ebay seat...
The Woolies did what it said on the tin, although I had to supplement the cleaner with some (top tip!) Dri-Pak Soap Flakes. Not surprising I guess given the muck that needed to come off!
My thanks to Brian-Northampton for his walkthrough on his method, and I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. There's a couple of bits that need a touch of rework but generally not bad at all!
Note the 70's-contemporary carpet. Just out of shot, there's the lava lamp and the Tretchikoff Chinese Girl print (only kidding on these..honest! )
Coverdale will be getting a call soon to move things along!
