Gave the seats & doorcards a clean today, I'm changing the interior on the brabham to a black one as the green interior is in poor condition, I'm using the black seats from kuh along with a set of black deluxe doorcards so before fitting thought it best to clean them
the best way I have come across to clean vinyl is to use traffic film remover & a nailbrush, while I was at it I gave the new grey interior for KUH a clean as well
it wasn't too dirty but you could tell the difference once done

haven't been idle with the rest of the car, stripped out the body, removed the door innards & took out all the glass inbetween what seems to take forever, filling & sanding 47 years worth of knocks & scrapes

Painted at last !!!, actually it was painted a week ago but needed a flat & rubbing compound to get a good finish, I'm very pleased with the results as its quite close to the factory finish but there are a few areas I'm going to have to blow in due to being over enthusiastic with cutting back
