Check Offside Fit

The drivers seat went off to “Jim the Trim” (better known as Andy Watt) in Colchester for repair.  He’s managed to find some old black leather cloth that is a really good match, and he’s acquired some black piping too.

He’ll be completely re-stitching every seam now, but some of the panels can be saved.  A bit of the metal work underneath has snapped too, but Malcolm of MK Engineering, thinks he might be able to help with those.

The new old stock wing and rear wheel arch inners have been trial fitted to see the fit of the new panel from Expressed Steel.

The rear wheel arch is looking particularly good all things considered.  Will need some hammer work to get it to fit against the new inner wheel arch.
