Great results on the seats, trig!
 
Lately (specifically with the 504) I've found wife enthusiasm hard to come by !!!

As my minds been on doom and gloom things today i decided to paint my Cortinas rear seats to take my mind of them, Here's some refresher photos from before.
 

 
and after graffiti remover and pressure washing.
 

 
Better but miles from perfect, I dropped my front seats off at the trimmers recently and they recommended a local company who sell very good vinyl paint in any colour, they are called http://shop.bradleysmart.co.uk/ by the way, a expensive £66 later i had 5 cans of colour matched paint and a bottle of Plasticprep.
 

 
i gave them a good wipe over with the prep which makes the vinyl tacky and also wiped them with a tack rag as it's all in the prep!
 
I'm very pleased with the results, I am slightly concerned that the colour might be slightly grey but I have enough paint to do the door cards if needs be and i still need to do the front seats once i get them back, the paint is fantastic, it's not sticky or tacky in anyway, I just hope it's as long lasting as they say it is.

Remember the chap with the rotten Renault 12 i posted a while back that looked like this?.
 

 

 
It had been of the road since 2001, in November this is how it was before he dropped it off at the bodyshop. Now look at the results.
 

 

 
Since these photos the front bumper has been fitted, there's still a few jobs to do but that's remarkable in that time period.

I've agreed to take on another Princess.  It will be stored and worked on in a more different place to my three other cars.  There is a bloody good reason for taking this one on though, it's a bit special.

meant for tat thread - This week I have been mostly eating

Have we had this yet?. Apparently the owner is looking for £4000, seeing that i sold mine for £2300 I think he's gonna be disappointed, The cars seriously  nice though.
