When stored in the previous owner's barn, a cat decided to take a leak in the rear seat of my split. Quite a nasty smell...and an ugly spot on the fabric as well...
This weekend, I flushed the seats with cold water and washed them all thoroghly with "MILO" ( a detergent especially made for wool and silk). they are quite wet right now, but they smell quite good - and some of the foul spots disappeared as well... :-)
A hard day's work at an end.... I know this won't get me a job at Boyd's hot rod shop, but it will hopefully get the old gal through the Norwegian MOT-equvialent...
And yes, I know that the black piece of metal come from "VENG". I can live with that fact! My spilt has not been on the road for nearly 30 years....and to get her back there is the major issue, after all... :-)
So far in my spli-prosject, I have had halp with the welding. When starting on my own, i wanted to find som "easy" areas to begin with. The rear leaft inner fender was found suitable. ( I have a lot of places to work with..) It is quite fun when you start working!
