welcome
 
Good photos - & I like the silver & tan together!
 
the color combo is awesome !!!

car really looks great, question, how did you get your seats so clean? they look great.

I have tan seats as well, and they are rather dirty, looking for advice on cleaning them. another post suggested the only way is with a bucket of soap and water and start scrubbing.

I'm doing my customized V8 MGB named SSsnake in that combo.
 
The seats were in pretty good shape when I got them as far as tears there were none etc. I got the 30 yrs of grime off of them by first spraying the whole seat down with purple power and letting sit for a good ten minutes. After that I used a scub brush with stiff bristles to get in all the grooves. I wiped down the whole seat with a wet reg they repeated until clean. For the real tough spots I used goof off and a rag. That stuff is strong though so be careful if you try.
 
Is that more metallic silver or gray? Either way looks great.
 
It's supposed to be metallic silver. I painted it myself so its more silver than metallic but it looks good from a far. As Chris said to me the other day 20/20 "Looks good from 20 feet at 20 miles per hour"
 
Hey Roger:
It is great to see the engine in it's new home!!! The color scheme looks great too and the paint as well. I'm glad the engine got there ok, I just wish the pistons had survived the trip though. Can't say enough for all the assistance Chris gave on the receipt and building of the engine - when we will have audio???
Roy :thumbsup:
sure you don't need a nice Weber 45 DCOE for it???
:devilgrin:
 
Tempting, thats definitely on the wish list for next year. I can barely eat and pay my rent after whats been done thus far even with all the help. This is an expensive hobby!
 
Great job!
 
Looks great :thumbsup: !!! The dramatic" lighting in the photos sure sets it off nice!!
