Kashi Aero resto - a leather handbag died in the making of this seat!

(1/4) > >>

dannywhiteley:
So I recently put out a call for a black used and abused Kashi Aero as I had plans to follow Steve P's lead and do a full on leather resto.  Daletsunami (cheers  :daumenhoch:) kindly answered my call with a suitably scuffed and marked Raleigh branded black Aero here:




Quick scout round the shops this morning looking for materials I come up trumps in our local tesco who were selling off a range of fine (large) black leather handbag's at £8 a pop (down from £15 ;)).  After getting the bag home I cut it up to leave me with enough leather to cover four seats if necessary (fortunately I acheived this on the second attempt leaving me two more if required).

Aero decal (remains of a Kashimax Aero decal I got off Del at MK08 that I just wanted the Kashimax bit off) is just for effect as im gonna get another set.  I also used the PAT.P K.S.M guts that came with this seat on my red leather (original) Kashi on my TA and used these 'gold' coloured ones on this as they will match the decals better.

Unfortunately I couldnt save the chrome rails so they are now mat black (though might get some chrome spray next time im in the DIY store).

Hope you like:
