Swapping the interior over is easier than the cleaning part Dave

Took me four hours to clean and then feed the leather seats. I reckon I can now do the complete interior swap in an hour

Also very warm today

You're not wrong there Mark, i've sometimes cleaned a fresh interior ready to go in then just swapped the interiors. It's also muhc easier to clean when it's out of the car!

In between jobs I managed to prime and paint my battery tray that my my mate welded a few months back. I painted with POR 15 but it looked a bit ropey being black so I ordered a tin of regent red along with primer and clear lacquer. Not the best paint job in the world but it does look better

A very busy day indeed! Glad you figured out how the valence fitted.

Those seats look virtually immaculate!
