Yup. Overload the brush and slap it on like (a) it's Friday afternoon (B) you're on piecework and © you want to get off to the pub

Thanks for your comments everyone!!

 

Ok I got the seats back and installed the refurbed runners, I then tested the heated seats, yes! heated! They work a treat real bottom and back warmers! all installed and running nice.

Nice addition Pete

Where are you going to put the controls?

Pete i dont know where to put the control it could go in centre console under handbrake so as not to be too obvious.

i could hide it in the centre armrest so you lift up and its in there, the unit can be controlled via a master switch which disables it regardless of the input from the heat controler, im thinking on this at moment. also had an idea of using the secondary stalk to lock it on, as secondary stalk has some idel positons not needed for the cruise function. also thought of voice command.

Looking good Pete, that's my favourite part when you start bolting shiny bits onto a newly painted car. 😀👍Also love your cruise control, think you got that nailed as it looks like that's how it would have come out of the factory 😀

thanks dave, choosing the font for the cruise engraving took a lot of OCD behaviour!!!!

ok done the rear view mirror, mocking up front cards, may or may not use the wood winder inserts, if its all too wood grain, then they go. 2 minute job to swap.

 

and a pic of me very happy sitting on the heated seats!!!!
