Bang-on-schedule new pew's got delivered today.
There's a little 'gathering' of the Leather near the shoulders. But they'll look like that after a few weeks useage anyway - and as
@///M and me well agreed.....these are hand-crafted, bespoke items and its called character. I'm more than happy. Quality is excellent and i'm so glad i bought the best leather available and didn't skimp.
And overall the fitment / finish is probably better than i imagined. Leather colour and texture was a good choice i think. ***Does look a little glossy in the light in some pics. It isn't in reality.
So firstly i set about the plastics with CarPro PERL (Excellent choice and thanks for the recommendations) and with a few other products gave them the clean-up from hell prior to fitment:
For seats from an older 197.....they are in amazing condition, feel solid and all mechanisms work faultlessly.
The only detriment was a spot or two of rust on just the outer two runner-feet of both seats - from where rain has sat on them after doors being opened mid-shower i suspect.
Me being me - i'd planned ahead and had some Hammerite Satin Spray paint ready to go. So i got them up at working height; sanded the feet smooth, masked off and gave them 3 coats of paint:
They can sit like this all weekend and dry now; ready for fitting Monday afternoon.
