Commando tank & seat back

Petrol tank & side panels back from the painters - very nice.
Wrapped up in some old curtains
Also got the seat back from Gypsy - again very nice but he didn't want to put the trim on with the supplied clips as he reckoned there was a danger of ripping the vinyl. The last couple of times I've been around to his workshop (his bread & butter is furniture upholstery - rolls of cloth, horse hair, that sort of stuff), I haven't got away for a hour as he likes to have a chat!! Anyhow, bit of attention with a hairdrier to soften the trim for a trial fit, then holding my breath, attaching the clips and then the trim, and on it goes on with no problems.
 
Fixing the trim clips & trim - Gypsy likes his riveter, but doesn't like the clips

Looks comfy
