Give it to a Polish man....

Getting better at stitching....

What A PITA this is, this is how much I did so far, and I'm not going to do it all in a day, I will do it over a week, I recommend don't do it It driving me mad, It looks a bit untidy because of the wax cotton thread, but I will clean that up later.... don't know how, but I somehow managed to...

Did the back and decided not to lacquer it, don't see the point, it's acrylic gloss, next job is to put the leather cover on with the fancy stitching, see how I manage that, bet I make a pig's ear out of it!

Just sprayed the wheel black gloss, will do the back 2morrow, very satisfying job

Continuing with the steering wheel, filled the hair like cracks, spray filler/primer sand down again.... and again, Ordered black gloss and lacquer from amazon, going to spray it again 2morrow, fingers X these things are starting to cost a LOT of money, very bad ones go for £250

It is, I am

Don't ask how much, but I got this for her.... I ordered a round one for a series 2, BUT they sent me a round one for a series 3 (It had NO thread in it) I don't know If I should return it or not? I can always put some Araldite in the hole, but I am not sure!

Starting on my steering wheel now, took the old cover off and threw it away, got a new leather one and going to stitch it on, but after I prime it, rub it down, fill the cracks in, and prime it again, put some black gloss on and then cover it again

It's taken us a long time, because we are crap with electrics!! Anyone know that the Green is for and the G/yellow ????

Nearly done now, few more weekends I hope, just sorting mostly electrics out now! Putting LED light all around (apart from the headlights)

Nearly finished mine, few more weekends I hope, just sorting mostly electrics out now!

Almost done, Just needs testing out, that's the biggest job, the big thing is I still have the original steering wheel and that the whole idea of it all, it looks like it should!

Made a bracket up for the steering (more strength) spayed it later one

A bit more done with the steering and electrics and hydronic piping, I'm useless with sparks, so I have to check everything 5 times, and put it (hopefully) right, then check it again!! Orders the red starter cable for the battery, going to put it under the pax seat, getting 3m so should be...
