The leather dye is quite good instructions say 3 possibly 4 thin coats well its like water so theres no thin coats seats will have to wait awhile as the its a daily and i have hospital 3 days plus mom in law is in hospital and could get a call at any time , but when i do them i will spray them using my touch up gun of the airbrush compressor plus it all has to be sealed

The dye came out so badly that i have now covered the dash with fabric , but with working outside the bod work has gone on hold looked at it today and it needs some rust treatment in a few places sooner than later ,and blow some Schultz under the front end

Seeing as i already have poly bushes for the front subframe and all the pipe for the exhaust, i thought i may as well put new suspension on at the same time so just ordered a set of coilovers, top mounts,inner and outer track rod parts and bottom wishbones, quick way of spending the best part of 400 quid should all be here by the end of the week just need a decent couple of days to fit it all, also have to MOT my T5 coupe and the Pajero , I'm sure theres some thing wrong with my brain always happy working on motor especially custom work
