I paid by Bank Transfer so I'm hoping he'll come good, doesn't look promising though.

I'm still waiting for the lights and had no reply to PM.

I've had a go at this recently but wasn't happy with the end result, probably because I attempted a direct copy, I think it needs a slightly different approach. I can have another look at it if you like?

Have just put my name down for this one. -
Thanks Stella. Andy, could you PM me details please. Rod, could you do the same please, might as well have 2. Thanks Dave

Well done, nice to see it go to a Forum member.

Thanks Andy.

I'm interested in one of these after Stella of course.

Oops sorry, can't keep track of stuff at the moment lol. Yes it should fix it. Can be a little fiddly to fit, some find it difficult but some find it easy, just depends how well the pivot pin comes out. I offer a repair service where you send your handle to me if you get stuck.

I can sell you a repair kit if that's what it needs? If you can open the door from the inside and NOT from the outside then you need a repair kit.

To be honest I didn't want to have to strip paint again, I've done enough of that in the past couple of months on other stuff. Will let you know shortly.

Nice head!

Leather is all fitted now and the heated seats work too. Apologies for the bright sunlight, looks better in the flesh.

Pete, I'll cut a junk off what I have left, PM me your postal address. I used contact adhesive but had to put plenty on. Andy, will post up pics tomorrow of the complete install. Are Corrado's ever finished? I'm getting close to the way I want it but then I've got to get chains and tensioners done. Redfox, no scraping there either.

Next on my list has been Black heated leather. Fitted this over last week on and off, dashing in and out when the weather allowed. Before I could fit it I had to do something with the knackered bolster so knowing they are obsolete I attempted a repair on a spare bolster I had in the shed. The process went like this - 1) Cut out loose and crumbled foam from spare bolster. 2) Purchase a firm piece of foam from my local Saturday market. I'd spotted this stall selling this kind of thing years ago and always had it in the back of my head that one day it would come in handy. 3) Cut and shape the new foam to roughly the correct size and shape. 4) Glue in place. 5) Allow time for glue to set. 6) Sand the foam to the correct shape, hell this was messy! 7) Fit to seat base, refit leather cover and Voila! The block of foam cost me £2.80 and I used about a quarter of it. Very chuffed with the results and saved myself a wad of cash. I'd recommend having a go at this if you're bolster is gone but it does have to have some life left in it as you need a good base to build on.

Maybe it's the sign of the sign of the times we live in.........

Yeah sorry to hear about that, we had our dog put down about 5 years ago, he had been in the family for about 15 years from a pup so I know exactly how you feel. I was there when the injection was administered - awful times! Feel for you. I didn't read your original thread. -
Bryan, very kind words, much appreciated. job705, Yes it will fit your car but I'm afraid you'll have to get in the queue, doubt I will have any until end of next week.
