Beautiful build :daumenhoch:, I have one of these frames ( was a cromo burner mk 1 ). After seeing this very tempted to go the Kuwahara route.

I restored that myself, bought via Ebay, the leather was scuffed and scratched but a bit of black boot polish and a special boot polishing buffer borrowed from the key cutting place in town it looks great ..

It was , more scuffed than actually ripped, the polish wheel worked a treat , took the roughness off the scuffs and then black boot polish brought it back to life ...
