It's not complicated, but it's time consuming and you need a sewing machine that'll go through leather.

Having the space just before we move has really made a difference.
Can’t wait for it to start making progress again

I managed to make a start on the prep today
I welded up the handbrake bracket
And next, I need to sort out this
I have made a start on it, it just needs some slicing and dicing!

Hi Carlos,
Have you rubbed your shell down again?? Missed progress in my self imposed absence. Thought you had it in lovely shiny paint a good while ago??

Ben has.
We weren't happy with the finish and I "may" have had a mishap involving the wing and a battery which fell on it

Whatever it was, it was rubbish.
I have had to order the paint online as my paint suppliers cannot make it up because it's a unique made up formula by the people online who I believe were the suppliers of the paint Carl bought before.
This is what I have ordered

Is that the actual paint that's going on?
