Paint and rust removal process.

[kev100]

Hi Kev,

if I remember correctly the lead loading was not effected by the 2nd dip, I think the heating up process to remove the paint in the first dip melted the lead.

Thanks Paul, I have noticed on mine that the lead that was already on the car has been effected by the first dip, potentially the second dip is a quicker dip or in a weaker acid perhaps,

I will confirm with surface processing I think

morning Kev
looking at the pictures I posted after meeting you at SPL all those years ago…. The lead loading is still in place

Morning Paul, yep looks like it

After being let down by a local upholstery guy, finally I have got the ball rolling. I contacted summers upholstery in Malvern thanks to Kev 100 I should have done it in January…

The seats looking tired.

The foams and diaphragms are shot, after discussing with Steve at Summers I ordered all new foams, diaphragms and vinyls yesterday, I will deliver them with the seats when they arrive.

I have a few days off from the house refurb so will be working on the car.

[kev100]

Are you going original colour, or something different ?

[paul jorgensen]

I have kept everything original so keeping it the same…

[paul jorgensen]

The seats looking slightly different…
I have stripped them and will get them bead blasted and powder coated. Hopefully this will be done by the time the foams etc arrive.

[paul jorgensen]

The foams literally disintegrated when I stripped them down.

[kev100]

Wow .. when are they booked in at Steve's ?

[paul jorgensen]

I will take the seat frames with the materials to Steve as soon as I have them all. He said he will fit them in between jobs. Hopefully me stripping and getting them powder coated will help.

[paul jorgensen]

I dropped the seat frames off to the powder coating company yesterday, hopefully they will be completed early next week. Will post pictures of the result.

Will be intesting when you put it back to gather, take lots of photos etc, as may do mine, mine were re foamed by a trimmer up here but never been happy with them and they cost a lot of money

Steve Summers Upholstery, he is the ex husband of a good friends wife, did 40 years at Morgan doing their upholstery, no idea on what he charges, but he will be doing mine in cream leather when the time comes.

I will do.
In a quest to keep the upholstery cost down I am doing some of the work myself.
