interesting to see if with the "radiator" off. Sharp looking color combo. A couple of people already getting quilted leather, is this the new IN thing?

Looking sharp, I must say. I wonder how it would look in matt black with that interior.
Also, will your "radiator" be black as well or nickel finished or perhaps chrome?

The radiator should be nickel finished, its not finished yet it needs a bit more red, but that should follow in the next week or so. Once I've had the car for a while I intend to bespoke it a little more. Got to find something to keep me amused in the garage

Nickel is definately nice. Although I have taken a liking to the the same-coloured superdry snout.
Is the engine black (somewhat) too? You exhausts look nickel in the picture too.
On mine (when it's possible) I'll have black exhausts with black exhaust wraps to fit the matt paint and give it sort of a rugged look.
Yeah, I know - I'm whittling away time, dreaming, until things are settled with the weight and whatnot, trying to make heads and tails of what I want and what is possible. I like the look of so many permutations it's ridiculous, but that is a nice "problem" to deal with.
Edit: What will be red besides the leather? Front fenders (or what they're called in British English)?

Tricycle looks great with quilted leather  ( Barbour quilted jackets have been this years big seller, but not in red!) looks like the wheel barrow is the inspiration for the roll over hoops

I figure that quilted upholstery will "sag" less when it's well weathered and farted on. I'm not sure about if I prefer the fart-patina or something more taut like the quilted stuff.
