Cheers gents.... a little update - slow progress unfortunately but a bit of resto has been accomplished over the last few days.....
The original seat in the 79 Jag catalogue is either a suede kashi or suede maytex. Now in my build notes I'd written down years ago I had a NOS "shelf worn frayed leather" unstamped Kashi that I was apparently going to pull the leather off and re-cover in suede but when I pulled it out of storage it just looked too good to remove the leather and I decided to fix it up and use it for the build with the OG leather finish intact.
Bit of carefully applied gorilla super glue with the brush aplicator, a load of clips and a handful of patience and she looked almost good as new:
Next up - pedals. So the pedals on the team Jag as per the Team mongoose of the time are the much sought after and hard to find MKS BM-1 rat traps. I have a NOS set of these on my 79 Team Minigoose.... but, for this Jag I had aquired (many years ago) a rusted, but structurally sound, set that need a little TLC.
A bit of de-rusting and a little paint and I think they came up just fine for this kind of build since it's a spruced up survivor frame and I think these suit the build just right.......
Getting there......
Hopefully get this finished fairly soon..... but got a few on the go at the moment :10_2_12: :LolLolLolLol:
