Silver Hammerite works well on the catches.

A good few hours today. Bonnet finished though I had 3 plastic rivet fails and a few short on top of that so I'll order and fit those. Fitted the engine splash guard, not sure it's an OEM fit but it's not coming off. Refitted the outside air temp sensor and refitted my standard airbox with my K&N panel filter, needs a clean

my lift makes things easier, saves my back when stood up as well as good access underneath.

I would recommend galve spray for catches and the like, gives it an oem look, comes in aerosol

I've now got ramp envy. Another item for my fantasy garage.

This one has wheels (not fitted yet) so you can move it to wherever, if your workshop is big enough that is. I need to drive her onto 4 wooden pads less the ramp won't slide under as she's to low. A superb bit of kit

Couple of jobs done/started today.

Seats out ready to dye back to Tannin Red, Arm Rest cleaned and put back in and a wash after yesterdays Lakes run.

Now that the seats are out I can shampoo the carpets

Engine bay clean

Looks like someone’s had fun today

Are you going to Tannin Red and black on the seats (like OEM), or just full Tannin Red?

Going for the full Tannin Red mate ..... for now

Job done Happy with the result. Straight forward but time consuming, a hair dryer cut time down quite a bit.

An opportunity to shampoo the carpets tomorrow whilst the seats are out.

@andyglym These seats look excellent. Love the tannin red. Thought about this myself. Are you planning on the extended leather bits too? If so, this could be epic. Black and tannin red will make Bella very luxurious.

Hi mate, just matching the seats to the rest of the interior. Old footage

All done and back together, happy with the result. Carpets hoovered and shampoo'd, ditto the foot well mats. All interior leather cleaned and balmed (Autoglym) along with all plastics.
