Bob, that's incredible work! Those door panels look every bit as nice as the $500 Moss items! Well done!

Very nice work Bob! I enjoyed sewing my seats for my TR3a as well. Like you described in your write-up the machine makes all the differance.

Thanks........With practice the sewing isn't that difficult for the basic stuff I had to do. The key is having a sewing machine capable of handling vinyl/leather. If your machine can't take a #18 needle and #69 thread, it probably can't handle vinyl/leather.

Wow...those are NICE! If I ever decide to take on a TR6 project I know who I will be calling as I already got all mine for my TR4! I know I'm getting a fender mat tho! Always great to have when working on a car.
