Hide came today. Well 2 of em. The idea is to trim her up in the blue against the existing grey leather. Bit of a problem, I ordered 2 and there is SO much of it. Ah well, nice matching tool rolls will use a little extra

Blue leather Andy? Just purely out of curiosity, what does that much leather cost?

A lot cheaper than I expected. So where do they breed those blue moo cows then?

Looking forward to the weekend. Spent all week in Lingfield and Oxted. Very nice but not home. Plan is to get the front facing lights fitted into the rear subframe, build up the other rear quadrant and fit the other seat. Then look at making some arm rests with that lovely leather
I bought a pair of "waterproof" speakers to go in the armrests, has anyone any experience of doing that?

Assuming the speaker is mounted vertically,as opposed to laying flat,make sure it is tilted in toward the bottom. This should allow any water/rain etc to drain away from it.I have seen them mounted horizontally,facing upwards,with the rain left to 'dance' around in the cone as it moves !

We've finally got the rear seat alterations finished, and they work nicely with suspension. Got one in primer this evening. Will put some pics up after tomorrows efforts. Will has made the outer arm rests and worked out how to fit the speakers to the arm rests without water pooling in them. We have yet to get the centre arm rest sorted out, as that has to fold forwards to allow the seats to be folded flat All this detail work takes forever, hope it shows at the end
