Wot he said. Great work Mick. Don't forget it's only you that can see the less than perfect bits

[markm]

christ, i'd be happy with the outcome of that if I had done it. cracking job Mick, when can I bring mine round for you to do.

[hot66]

Mick, they look great


I can't even sew on a button

Hi Mick

Yes looks like a cracking job to me. Like most things when you have done them you can see all the faults but nobody else sees them.

Kind Regards

Mick, you're far too critical of your skills. They look great and far above the standard most of us could achieve, or even contemplate attempting! They are definitely going to finish the interior off nicely. Look forward to seeing the next update.

I am in awe!

Thank you fellas I really appreciate your comments.

Sorry for the negative vibe at the end of my last post. I don't know how you tackle a job but I wish fix it first.

"I'm going to do this, I'm going to that, it'll workout like this, all will be good."

It didn't go quite to plan but mostly its the fact it was such a tedious job that has miffed me off.

Unpicking all the old covers to give patterns
The hours spent trying to get the best useage out of the vinyl



Thread snapping
Thread runnning out half way along a seam
And threading a needle is arghhhhh

In the end they are just something to sit on and fart into! They will do there job and in time will crease,get scuffed and knowing me end up with the odd fag burn. I've cheered myself up by booking for the CLM trip but.. time spent on these will mean I'm still leaking oil. So I'll be bringing up the rear in the convoy .

Thank you again for your nice comments


PS.... I've just pressed the Preview button to read it through and noticed the line I typed ....a tedious job that has pi**ed me off. has been auto corrected to ...miffed me off. What's that all about? We all know Peter don't we??

[DEEMAN]

Hey, I know what you mean (just like others). whether its 'p', 'm' or 'f' we understand and appreciate the hours and agony that have gone into that small (sometimes) or silly little job that make's it all worthwhile.

Super job, well done, and ....just keep going.

It's worth it in the end.

Nice one Mick

[DustyM]

Excellent stuff, it's one area of a restoration that I still outsource, I've never been brave enough to give it a go (even though my father in law is an upholsterer! - he doesn't do car interiors but I could probably use his equipment.)

Love this thread, great work Mick

I have a couple of rotten old seats at work, not sure if they have any seat belt brackets attached but will look tomorrow and see if I can find the one you're missing.
