Morning Steve,Good amount of progress for 6 months work Tom.
It’s got me itching to start my next project now that pine green has gone.
It’s looking to be a blue 5 seater colour.storm (already purchased) the way I think a storm should look
Hello Edd,Hows the votex coming along?
Evening Andy,Is that Lowestoft? not far form me here in Norwich, and a personalised ColorMFD display screen
Andy
Nice job as always sir - were you tempted at all to go with Orange on the armrests at all to match the exterior?Another little update,
I’ve had the Furniture Clinic out to play again. This time, the same as the last was to recolour Red Leatherette door card armrest. I have the last refurbished set away as I’m far too generous, I think they were actually swapped for a blue leather set which I’ll paint soon enough for a pending project, a thread for another time.
Some of you might remember my recent purchase from our very own Market Forum, where I secured these(thank you Steve @A2Steve):

Soon as Colin @V666col had delivered them I get the Dremel out to remove the armrests:

After a good cleaning with warm soapy then Elbow Grease I was surprised how much cleaner they come up. Next up was to get the products out:

And here they are looking nice and fresh ready to jump into a Jaipur Red A2 with an stunningly contrasting Soul interior:

Only today see me with the time to do such a task, been extremely busy here recently but over the moon with the outcome. The colour will darken slightly as it fully cures over the next 24 hours before fitting.
Another satisfying task complete.
Kind regards,
Tom
Love the ones of these I have in my 1.2. Most envious of your heated ones though!!!Afternoon all,
I have so much to update you all in regards this splendid commuter but haven’t had the time to sit down to put the posts together. Today though I have a quick update for you.
Remember these rather rare Black Leather Heated SE Seats with Electric Lumbar Support that we’re fitted a few months ago:

Whilst I really like them I truly missed having Sport Seats that I was used to in my first commuter and then in Project OEM, therefore I have been on the hunt for a suitably nice seat if heated sport seats, ideally in black.
Well luck obviously has hit me hard; looks at these:

They feel nice and tight on the fabric and of course look absolutely stunning and are indeed heated. I need to address the usual bobbling of the alcantara but I’ll get to that soon enough as there are plenty of information available online which I have since studied.
Such an amazing acquisition to satisfy my want of Black Leather Heated Sport Seats. Very big smiles here at 2work Towers.
When I get a bit more online time I’ll come back with some other updates, mainly the JDD Gearbox and the beautifully colour coded Votex Kit…
Kind regards,
Tom
Evening David,Wow - heated alcantara sports seats - not seen more than one other set of those that I can recall on here Tom - seems to be that most folk who spec’d alcantara thought it’d be warm enough!
Hello Erling,Love the ones of these I have in my 1.2. Most envious of your heated ones though!!!
Evening Edd,Sick with envy
Hi TomEvening Edd,
Yes this particular A2 just keeps getting better and better. I’ll let you know when it’s available for purchase Sir, haha.
Kind regards,
Tom
