Hi B.

And where can I buy the embossed vinyl for the doors. I am looking for another color than black?

I presume your talking about the basket weave material OE if so I don't think its done in other colours there are basket weave patterns that are close I have seen in other colours if you google Basket weave trimming material Hans that should help you rather than embossed Vinyl ?

Thanx Andy,
Tried it directly and got the info I needed.bounce

Hope you (and all the others) had a nice day in the sun with the hood down.

I was with friends to Belgium/Luxemburg for the organization of our yearly TRippers long weekend.
Checked hotles, nice driving routes and interesting places.
That was in a closed car with four people.
Will make good the coming sunny days.
Hans

Its seat week on all fronts the trimmer has got this far on the Taimar seats and sent me a sneak preview so far rather happy with the two tone the leather is close to the colour that the original fabric was before it got grubby.
The Tuscan seats are out and will be heading to Romania later in the week (yes we now have a Tuscan V6 and a Grantura in Romania) buy them or loose them i say is the moral to all the picture collectors out there hehe
Plus the extra clips that I am missing for the seats I am building for the Tuscan should be here tomorrow so I can do the second one and then off to the trimmers as well

Window fitter is coming later in the week and they are taking her to a rolling road to get the enginge set up right ready for the MOT before the bonnet goes on for final fitting.

That's looking great Andrew. Does it go straight over to Ireland or will it do a tour of events before heading west?

Thank you Hans
Graham the plan is that once back with me the seats and carpets are to come out and the Sound system to be fitted and then the new carpets and a few other bits to be sorted and get it run in and finally tuned and the wheels switched to the T Slots which he has decided he would prefer as those wheels where a spare set I had lying around no loss there and I am sure they will find a good home.
So a fair bit of work really before hand over and he wants me to enjoy it for a while however with all that's going on work wise and other projects I am not sure.
