My Type 54 to sort of 47 Conversion
dakazman:
Rod, the seat looks great. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
Will you be going with black leather or something else?

Dakazman,
I'm going with vinyl, leather would have been the dogs danglies but the price forced me to go with vinyl. I'll post some more photos next weekend when I have some more garage time.

Rod, I’m impressed with the level of work your doing and no fear to tackle every aspect of building the car. Bravo !

I guess this is a moot point now, but here's that picture of the side bolsters from one of my S2 seats. The outer edge is compressed, and it looks as though that is the edge that would have been facing forwards, but it got bent round and glued down on the adjacent edge. It looks like a simple trick to get the bolster shape.
RoddyMac:
So the body and chassis have been handed back from the paint shop. The body still needs a colour sand and polish, but it certainly looks good. It's much straighter now and the paint isn't see through.
Next step it reassembly...
