easypops 8 Posted March 6, 2016 Do you have the link to the dye ? I found some on flea bay , but not the glyptone stuff. Here you go mate, I chose this for the(hopeful)ease of it to use plus it's an apply and forget as no sealant is required. I'm happy with the results so far but I'm only going over the top of the same colour. I might have went for the furniture clinic stuff if I wanted to change colour. You'll need leather cleaner and conditioner plus a solvent to follow instructions on this one. I bought 1litre http://www.liquidleather.com/en/scuffmaster-dyes/61-scuffmaster-dye-for-leather.html#/size-1_litre You'll need to find/choose your colour as well, the one I got was VW Corrado 95 beige Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

easypops 8 Posted March 21, 2016 So, it was a nice day yesterday and as I got the latest VR6 home(had it in the work car park since collecting it as I had to get rid of a breaker to move this in :lol:) Out with this In with this This is the latest one myself and another Corrado lunatic(Goldie)have halved in for, fingers crossed it can be saved but it'll need a good look underneath to make sure it's not a sieve. Anyway, we bought it with a hot start issue which the seller confirmed was fuel related......I wonder what could be the issue? Mmmm, maybe this comedy fuel pressure regulator? :lol: Also this is fitted but not likely to be an issue but both are leaving ASAP anyway Got the FPR off yesterday but as soon as I connected the battery the alarm was going off constantly, and it's very loud, so had to be happy with the fact it fired up. Next thing I'll do is disable the siren/find out the alarm issue. And as its a Corrado it wasn't letting me away lightly as the Z end of the bonnet release cable snapped off :lol: It's off!

seanl82 23 Posted March 22, 2016 I thought you'd maybe break this one considering what you paid. Well done for saving it though, if you can see potential in it as either a bit of a hack or a money maker, it's always good to know there will be another one saved from the giant scrap heap in the sky! What are your plans? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are your plans? I have no real plans yet mate, the decision on its future will be made when myself and Goldie get a chance to look over it properly, the engine issues won't be what decides it though as these things are easy enough. Bodywork will though. As you say, it was cheap enough so we won't lose out either way. I love them in red though :lol: Anyway, did some more leather dying last night, pictures don't overly show it but the dye is great. Only done 2 coats so far but will eventually do 4 on everything One on the right is dyed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted March 24, 2016 Looks cracking! Yours didn't seem overly bad to begin with tbh. You should have seen the state of mine! Got a massive sense of achievement when it was finished. :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got a massive sense of achievement when it was finished. :thumbleft: It is very satisfying to see it coming along mate, I guess I could have lived with it but I'd never have been happy, my phone pictures aren't the best, I've got better ones on my camera but that takes time to do and it's just so easy on the phone. Close up here shows it up for how it is, the colour differences between the sides and front is quite significant.......until now :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted March 24, 2016 Leather work looks great Easy . I've just got to seal mine and its all done , apart from the drivers seat , I can't get the bolster repair done until April . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are you sealing it with Rob, I used this stuff as it claims to have built in sealents? I was just going to do my 4 coats and be done? Happy to seal if necessary though :) I'm planning to swap the bolster as well, no tearing/holes which is good. I could also do with swapping out the upper foam bolster but not sure how easy that would be? What's up with yours? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the exact same as you about the sealer easypops I don't recall getting a sealer with the glyptone stuff when I went to their offices for my stuff but having jumped on their new website I found this http://www.liquidleather.com/en/27-car-motorbike-leather-sealants-protectors easypops - what do you plan for the bolster? I believe they are not available & am unaware of any repro's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did bid on a drivers bolster on ebay a while a go but it ended up going for silly money Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) I bought the top coat sealer that they sell . Years ago when I did my old seats , I used the furniture clinic products which came with a sealer . I just presumed that you had to seal the Gliptone stuff too ? . Perhaps things have changed , to me simply applying a water based product onto and object that will have wear n tear needs protection. But as said the products today may be a lot More hard wearing . Edited March 24, 2016 by robrado974 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted March 24, 2016 would that be from one of the joint venture cars with goldie? Surprisingly no mate, I had this one from years ago, never got round to using it. We did have a good one on one of the breakers but that was sold ages ago now sadly. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
