Behold! The new retrimmed saddle!   I retrimmed it in "Cacao" Rolls Royce Phantom leather. Not many Phantoms have this colour, let alone bikes! |

Nice leather! Regards painting, anyone thought of that hammerite electrostatic paint gun? Designed for painting railings, does both sides at once and was quite good when I saw it on the gadget show? Might be worth a try but not too many colours at present. Like the idea of the hammered look though! www.hammerite.com/uk/products/ps_metalmaster.html |

Currently driving a '68 Karmann Ghia as my daily. Don't ask about previous cars - there have been way too many and I stopped counting at 160!

cool you going to put a Rolls Royce mascot on it too Don't think I could get away with stealing one of those! Plus we only work with the leather anyway. I think the piece I butchered to make the seat was worth hundreds of pounds  . |

I work for Faurecia who make the seats. Been down to the Goodwood factory for a random visit once. It's impressive to say the least!

The wheels are off of my Scirocco. They're the standard Scala ones I took off when I put cups on it. At the moment, they just stop my wanging the MR2 into the wall! And thats where they shall remain Adam! |

BUM, TITS, POO, CHUFF, WEE, TODGER, FANNY, BOTTOM! It was done FFS! I had strung it up from my garage roof to paint it. I had put on enough layers of paint to satisfy me and figured "sod it, I may as well use the rest of the can". I had just finished off the can when *snap* *clang* "Sh*t". The string snaps and I'm left with a scratched frame that I'm forced to put hand prints all over to re-hang it from the ceiling.
I now have to try and track down some more paint (the stuff I'm using seems rare as poor quality wobbly children's play pony poo). Halfords only seem to get one can in a fortnight and Homebase and B&Q seem to stock every colour/type of paint other than the one colour/type I need. I've managed to order some from Amazon.co.uk at £4 more than I payed at Halfords but it could be 5 days delivery and I need the bike done by VW Action next weekend.
Somethings going to die tonight and I haven't decided what yet...
