Hi Folks,

I'm new to the forum. I've been trying to get my project up and going for a couple of years now and it's finally about to get some momentum over the coming months.

I tried to start a thread in the 'Restoration and Build Threads' area but I got a note saying that I didn't have permission to do so. Is it cool to start a build thread in this part of the forum?

Thanks and greetings from Australia.
// Luke.

Loving the progress! FYI, if you put a damp towel over the wrinkles and loose aeas on your seats and run a steam iron over them, the fabric will tighten up and pull most or al of the wrinkles out. The pros use a steamer which you might be able to rent, but I found the towel and iron that I already had on hand worked great.
