Hi all
Managed to trap the car trimmer in his lair and he had somethings to show me. He had a door card done that just needs a bit of piping and he also had the seat back grab handle that he was thinking of recovering with vinyl. In the end he decided to try plastic paint and I think when he has matched up the colour to the blue of the vinyl trim and piping we will be a step further along. Picture shows the not quite finished doorcard.

went to see the trimmer no progress no surprise there, I am suspecting he has lost/destroyed the door cards and seat bases and daren't tell me.

Hi all
Visited the trimmer and he had made some progress, the door pocket is now sewn in and elasticated so it snaps back into place when you let go of the vinyl tab...still some way to go.

Have not been to see the trimmer as he will just get the same doorcard out again. The Appia has moved up to 2nd place in the queue (Terry is itching to start welding) as I am determined to get the Y10 mechanics done before Christmas. We shall see as I am pencilled in to be under a Honda Civic tomorrow hopefully it will only be visiting for the day.

I might visit the trimmer in the New Year and see if I can get all the trim back and do a mock up of the new interior...
