Peugeot leather seats from a cabriolet of some description, Black need cleaning but not ripped... £30 and he threw the back ones in as well.
I thought the material from the backs would come in handy for trimming the doors and centre console, maybe even a dash top.
Now... where is that leather cleaning stuff my mrs bought for her mondeo :-)
Oh.. pictures to follow .

Just what are we trying to achieve here and on the other Dutton sites?
Do we wish to only preserve Duttons as they left the factory?
are we looking to use and modify our cars to suit the modern road conditions?
are we looking to find new ways of solving old problems or are we looking to keep a supply of classic parts to maintain the cars as they were built?
Are we going to discourage modifying of the cars bodywork?
what modifications are acceptable, if…

This park mechanism relies on a "broken track" on the motor gear wheel, but if the motor power is not cut immediately the motor runs on and it wont stop. the circuit also controls the two…

My wife just bought a Hyundai Atoz the other day because the owner had taken it to several garages and was told that the car was beyond repair engine management wise and the owner would have to put up with it stalling and juddering whilst driving.

under the bonnet of the Sierra. I have to say the cylinder head and exhaust manifold is a very awkward lift at that height, I might have a twinge or two tomorrow :-(.
Its out now though and the top of the block has been scraped clean of kak, head bolt threads cleaned out and a clean cloth soaked in wd40 laid over the block and weighted down to keep the crap out over night.
