Those winter jobs

[Little Barry]

Now the show season is over those small little jobs can begin. First the Grille on my escort van was flaking away and not looking all shiney and silver so being that i am do paint spraying at college i took it in and give it a freshen up with a new coat of paint
The other job i have done along with the help of my dad (mostly him doing the work and me cleaning ) was replacing the leather Recaro seats that came with the van for some new cloth Recaro seats out of a Fiesta RS turbo.

Anyway the best part is the pictures so here you go.

In primer ready to be painted



next was the silver paint and laquor to give the final product



this is an overall picture of what it came from to what the final product is


next we have the seats, this is what it looked like with the leather recaro seats in


i haven't got a picture of the cloth Recaro seats fitted because there is only one seat fitted at the moment but i do have a piture of the seat before it went into the van


When both of the new seats are fitted then i will post a picture on this thread
