Also found a replica carpet company in NZ, so the black carpet is new too. If any one is interested in a set just drop me a PM, if i can help i will. Moved on to trying my hand at interior re-trim, modest results but enjoyable non the less. Just removed the old panels, stripped them of...

New Seats The original seats had seen better days so time for something new (ish). Started off with an old Recaro seat and had my mates strip those, new foam, vinyl upholstery, modified pedestals to lift the smaller seat to roughly same height as the oem. There are a number of options for...

My first 4x4 was an Xtrail - its what got me in to the whole thing. I would spend days living out of mine on a lot of beach fishing excursions - I can tell you that on the beach they where one of the lightest treading machines going and i loved mine to bits. Hope you have as much fun in yours...

Hi FT, I may have a set of autohubs in the shed, which I have no need for, so if you want to pay the postage from New Zealand you can have them....On the assumption I find them.

must be a car enthusiast thing, I'm loving these, the misses just looks at me funny when I suggest one for the dinning room table centre piece :lol:lol

Ah yes, real plastic!!!! made from Un-recycled materials :lol:lol polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride = thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin........C6-H6-O.C-H2-O)x Ya know its good when its got all that in it!! I miss that stuff.....:eek::eek:

The craftman that made that is most likely long dead and buried too, what I love about older items like this is the legacy that one fabricator left behind him.:thumb2, the skill and the care that went into a little item to hold tea is beyond modern day comprehension. I agree, get it used...
