Was bored this evening so decided to get the leather seats out and give them a clean.

Back rest and headrest cleaned with AG Interior cleaner and dressed with AG Leather care balm:

I then placed one of them in the car to see how they look:

Which lead me to see that the front bolt mount needed flattening:

So i employed my friend 'The persuader' :

They came up a treat after the clean and look really well in the car!

Get the rails made up asap :)

They really did! They were quite dirty before but came up really well im really impressed!

There are still a few small marks on them, so i think im still going to get some leather dye on them then they'll look brand new!

They're really comfortable too i had a little sit in the drivers side when it was in the car.

Does anybody know if Dodo Juice born slippy and Iron X is concentrate or dilute? Had a look on the back but it didn't say :confused:

Also got my steel today and i've done some of the holes.

Chris what did you do about the stump that comes out of the bottom of the chair? Drill a hole for it or cut it off?

Also went to a family friends today and he had this absolutely mint Mk2 and i fell in love with it:love:

Getting very very close now with the seats, just need to drill 4 10mm holes for the original bolts to go into car.

Only problem is all my drill bits are very blunt after drilling 2 holes, and i cant be bothered buying more!
 
Got some new drill bits and some oil to lubricate the holes and it worked a treat.

Got all the holes drilled and now the seats are 100% in.
Hopefully Chris will get some good photos at next sunday's meet!

Snapped about 5 drill bits and did this!
