ioneabee Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Bleach - it certainly does it on everything else I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonk Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Won't bleach attack the stitching? Have a look at http://www.quickfitsbs.com they are recommended on the e type forum and are probably who I will use. They do seat belt restoration and re webbing.

spursmaddave Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Great job with the vinyl, hope you get the belts sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I was being half serious.... I think If it was me I'd maybe give it a go with low expectations and any result is a bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Can anyone advise me on how I can restore the seat belts backs to White?? H2 O2 (google is about to get hammered ) I'd suggest try at 1% if too slow or no joy 2.5 or 3.5% I've got some 35% in the work shop. I'll sort you some out next time your up for the weekend. It's industrial grade not food grade, if that's OK for pumpkin.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 I don't think I'll be using bleach, I did think about soaking them in some Daz Ultra, (insert pun here) May take you up on that offer Chris, as no doubt I'll be seeing you in the not so distant future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Think this is how I would do it: http://www.detailing...734&postcount=5 (without the pink gloves oh, and use a hairdryer rather than the car's heater ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I did my Zed seat belts with washing powder like that link, amazing how grubby they were, being black hid it I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Don't use washing powder on fabric seats, I learn't this on the Leon, every time it gets a bit damp the seats become covered in white stains, it's either the washing powder I used or something the previous owner had done all over the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 If you need something to do - how about a nice respray in a vibrant colour - I don't know how about GREEN It's OK we will be calling on your fabrication skills this winter mate got an LS3 to fit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 LS3 hmmm Let the Zed sheds unite You know a L28 would probably suit a Z33 better, Lighter, free revving. could always do an exchange 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Only just seen this thread, love these proper builds I could only dream of. Subscribed! It's a beautiful motor to start with, so can't wait to see the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Is there anything that actually needs doing? It looks mint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 It is showing it's age, just not full of holes I wanted a good base to start with. Having nearly all standard parts saves a lot of money trying to source things like door cards, trims etc. Just about to go for my first proper drive now I have the plates 4 things I hope not to need: Tools jump leads tow rope breakdown cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
