Whilst not my cup of tea, I fully respect Gary for taking on this task.

Thank you guys. Apparently there is a 1910 Swift identical to Gary's at a museum in Coventry. Next weekend he's going to visit and take a lot of pictures so he can restore the car as it should be. ie. loose the vinyl covering on the seats, replace aluminium trim that runs along the top of the doors with brass as it should be. I don't think he'll over do it, unless he tries to stick the 550bhp V8 from the transam in it that you can see in one of the pictures. wink

Yup that plastic seat and door cards do look very grim, a re-upholster in correct colour and material will make the world of difference to how it looks. Be interested to have a few pics when the cars finished if possible.

No Problem, I'll try and take a few as the build progresses.
