Well Iâ€™ve wanted to do this for a while but just havenâ€™t had the time too, so this was done over a few days.

And a new(ish) CD Player to go with it

I've just done a shelf to hold in my band-pass. I haven't covered it yet, but I'm using the rainbow trim off the nessy's seats. At last I've found a use for my spare seats!

Love the catflap in it Ad! Tidy job.

Have you seen the early '93 turbo on ebay down in Denbigh? Shame it's not a year older.....

I just bought some leather off the roll from the market and stapled it in place. It was a right bastard on the corners

A little trick for the corners in the future : heat the leather a little around the corners, it wil fit more easely. Ive done some more complicated leather works and it always went well ,

but nevertheless : nice job

Too early and too turquoise for me, but close to home!

I hear Stu likes them young

stu chacks · Post by **stu chacks** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 7:06 am

My mistake, I did mean a year younger (94). Always get that one mixed up, car being a year later but being younger rather than earlier!?

Too early in the morning for me....

That leather looks good though however old she is though

excellent stuff!! I've still got a spare ikea kitchen door handle if you like?! hehe!!

(it's not worth the slagging!)

The leather looks good, but your rear seats look uncomfortable ... are they in the most up right position?

Big Brother · Post by **Big Brother** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 4:07 pm

@Stu, you do like your leather donâ€™t you, in cars as well

@piper1st, Got my handle yesterday from HomeBase still havenâ€™t fitted it or cleaned the leather, may get round to it tomorrow. The seats are in the right position they arenâ€™t actually leaning on it now just got to make a block or something to support the back or it

Looks good Adam, Nice work mate

Cheers. I was thinking stapling my Welsh flag to the cat flap (as Stu calls it) and then fitting the handle over top, but then I thought if I drive through any other countries, like England I would have my car bricked, especially so soon after the world cup

Umm...

Why would we start bricking welshie cars cos Portugal knocked us out of the World cup?

Portugal is to far away so they will take it out on us
