Default Re: Escort mk2 seat issue and advice appreciated

I did my own restoration - panel, paint, mechanical, electrical, and the big one ...soft trimming. I spent numerous semesters at tech learning " How to..."
I'm not a mechanic/panel beater/spray painter by trade - I pound a keyboard all day.

You can do it.
It just takes time.
It's not something you can/should rush.

On a positive note, you do however learn a helluva lot along the way - dare I say 'intimate' knowledge of your car.
And, overall you feel very satisfied ("I built that !!!" / "Built not bought") despite the occasional setback.
And, you end up with a very well equipped workshop....
.........ready for that next 'quick restoration'. (number 5 currently underway....)

Always maintain a proper perspective.....IT'S A HOBBY !!! DON"T STRESS !!!
