had a very productive day yesterday and today
repaired the estates n/s arch buy welding in a patch on Saturday
and..
today it the six's day
started off today by clearing out the garage putting away all the tools
so i had some space to weld......
decided to repair the drivers window as i collected my plastic widow guide from Peugeot on Friday
easy job basically pull out the side seal, clip plastic guide to window, slide seal over guide and work it into the door channel, done now have working drivers window again
next job was to tackle the drivers seat, as the frame was broken,
so removed the seat from the car, into the garage.
took the seat squab off the base frame so i could see the broken tube and frame
realigned up the tube and welded it back together
cleaned it up and lewis gave it a coat of paint on the welds
the seat cushion base has been digging into my thy so decided to take the leather cover off to see if i could improve it.
to my surprise it looked an easy fix as the foam had broken away and was breaking up,
so out came the duct tape to cover the foam to give it its shape back,
now to find something to pack up the side wings, as they are supported on bars which were digging in me......
Lewis had a great idea of using the wifes washing up sponge's
so one of these were duct taped into the slot where the bar sits into the foam cushion.
leather cover was refitted and all fitted back into the car
test fitted and it seams to be quite a good fix the side support has firmed up loads and now don't dig in my thy
