** Kashimax Aero Restoration **
« on: June 06, 2009, 04:31 PM »
Just bought this seat from a fellow Rad member with one resto intention in mind ... LEATHER  :-*  ;D

BEFORE - well beaten and the chrome rails were shot which was a real shame  :(













AFTER - a new leather jacket and fresh decals it's now fit for a DFS :LolLolLolLol:















I had to resort to painting the rails but I'm still well pleased with the finished result ... what d'you reckon  :)

Top work steve  :4_17_5:

How did you get it to stretch over so flat ? Did you glue as you went along, smoothing it out ? Doesn't look to be any raised or bubbled bits  :shocked:
I love it mate :smitten:

The rails were too far gone Marty and the chrome was completely shot ... gutted :'(

It's actually alot easier than it looks ... use a high impact adhesive on both surfaces, leave it to partially dry (until tacky) and hey presto  :daumenhoch:
