Re: Special two door hardtop upholstery

Thanks for the offer I would appreciate that.

I have a scan that SMS sent me but I have seen some photos of other cars and they are different. If you can send me what you have I can compare and decide how I want to do my car.

Thanks and regards

Under body colours

Hi I have stripped my car down to the bare chassis and had it sandblasted so it is time to think about painting.
