Theres a guy up in Moira near Swadlincote called Keith.  He re-trims a lot of splittys and and campers. He also does furniture too.
  Thats the only photo I have until Thurs when I go pick them up but the bolsters have been trimmed in a good quality leather. I will get some more pics when i get them on Thurs.

Hey Rich !!   I wanted to go for a candy red to start with but was was firmly pushed away from it by Tom & Pete and the guy at the paint shop.  They said that when you spray the dye on the large panel and go down the panel that it would go darker where the dye overlaps.
  The colour is a Harley Davidson red and it's turned out like the candy that I wanted but without the hassle :)
It should hopefully be sorted out by the end of July so not in time unfortunately :(

So after 12 hours of driving here , there and everywhere !! I made it back home from dropping the car down to TSR for the engine conversion :)  Should hopefully be done within 5 weeks he said , but i'm in no rush for it yet and I reckon it will prob take 8 - 10 weeks. Hopefully the sun will have come out to play by then  :wink:

No worries Jon !!

The paint would have looked a lot better if the sun would have been shining hairy !!  Really pleased with how it's turned out though. Had nothing but positive comments :)
