Ivan's coupe: bodywork is done

[Ivan141]

Another random update dump:

This week I've popped across the border to drop off my fasteners and small brackets for zinc coating. Hopefully I'll get most of what I brought back in a week or two.

On the way back I dropped by the garage without any real plan.
Ended up finishing the painting the steering column completely. Turns out the bolt on the height adjustment has left-hand thread, lucky I caught on to that before I broke anything.



Then primered the front wings which I'd treated with some rust converter a week ago.



Back at home I managed to finish one rear seat back in some materials I was hoping to try out:



It's a lot coarser weaved fabric, dark brown bottom, beige center, and black leatherette top (original is brown, but I want the seats to match my black dashboard).
Interested to hear what you guys think about it.
