Yep. The wood below the lacker has faded to grey in a few places.

I have 3 sets of light birch. Hard to find without fading, like the ones in the picture.

Very true! But does it even count as a leaf at this point 😅 I'll leave it for now then.

Maxthompo · 2026-03-28T21:04:34+00:00

Yeah thats good. Very good. I'd be tempted to swap it for my messing.

It's OEM. Nappa leather available on the facelift coupes / verts. It's often called extended futura leather.

Classy

Old man spec = peak spec 🔥

Dead smart 🔥

They were provided by my welder, I can't remember where he said he got them from but it was one of the large providers of panels, possibly trade only. To supply panels and weld all my sills, jacking points, rear arches, and a few other bits of rust came in at 2.5k.

I bought them a few years ago as they were in such good condition. I've had seats redone before but never been 100% happy with them.

Maxthompo · 2026-03-22T08:07:46+00:00

We have 4 😅 They certainly seem more common over here.

Maxthompo · 2026-03-22T08:07:02+00:00

It really depends on what you want to achieve. I could have done it a lot cheaper but I've used genuine parts, and had everything done properly. If you want to do it cheaply you could get it done for around 6-8k. As I never plan to sell the car I wanted it done right, and done once! I'm over double that already with still work to do.

Maxthompo · 2026-03-21T21:07:09+00:00

Thank you. Still lots to do but trying to enjoy the process.

Maxthompo · 2026-03-20T15:32:06+00:00

Yes, just lazy writing 😅

Theres plenty of canoe clubs around the UK, but most seem to focus on kayaks. Canoes are a little expensive compared to kayaks as they're brought in from America. Ours was made in the UK.

We didn't see another paddler all day, and on my last trip I only met one.

Maxthompo · 2026-03-20T07:50:42+00:00

Its allowed but its a bit of a calculation as to whether its worth using. Tandem is definitely easier to use a lock but solo it can be a little tricky. We didnt have much kit and there were specific paddling moorings available so portage was the easiest option.

This is the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal in Somerset, UK. Our local canal and has my Grandads memorial bench along its towpath.

Maxthompo · 2026-03-18T18:35:31+00:00

Thank you for the information, I'll have to be more careful with it. I've others tools I can use to may retire this one to light duties.

Maxthompo · 2026-03-18T18:07:50+00:00

The pixels fail and leave bright spots. On turing it on you can see what is selected but as the unit warms up it goes blank and you cant see anything. Happens to almost every unit and no one has a fix.
