Seat Update

Treatment of the seat went well I think.  I did one more application the following day, let it sit another day and buffed it out.  It has since lightened up a bit but it is considerably better looking than before.  The leather is much softer and while the cracks are still there they seem less visible now that they have darkened some.  I will do the rest of the seats after I take some comparison snaps.

Trim Solution?

Found this while browsing through Audizine this evening. I am going to order some up for my A6 but I thought it might also go well on the trim around the windshield and rear window. Doubt I will do much else on the car with it, at least for now. Though maybe I can recommend it to my dad and uncle for their black e38s. ^_^

Working On The Seats

I had some time after the kids went to bed this evening to do a quick project on the Beast.

What The Future May Hold

Just wanted to touch real quick on what I will be attempting with this car and my expectations.

A Good Couple Days

After sitting around in the garage for probably close to a year unused and untouched, the Blue Beast has seen quite a lot of action the past few days!

Getting started

Just finished some basic setup for the blog here and I am a bit excited to see how this goes.  I've kept an online journal of sorts before but used it rather infrequently.  Hopefully I will have enough to post here that there will be some good content on the restoration of this car to working order.  I hope to include pictures and such in a "before/after" sort of timeline as I fix things and keep a listing of how-to guides, resources used and other such things for those who might be interested.

I have a few things to rattle on about from the last few days which I will get to soon.  Please stay tuned!
