The Hood
The hood on this, including the torneau covers are made from mohair and so are very delicate. As Bryan is taller than me, he did the hood!!

No windows!!
: Putting the windows in was a jigsaw puzzle of clips and sections that took Bryan and the owner a good wee while to build up, but got there in the end...
The hood was cleaned using 303
Fabric Cleaner, sprayed on and agitated with a brush. The application was repeated several times in places, with many of the stains having "been there for many many years"!!! The 303 did a good job of removing the vast majority of the stains and brightening up both the hood and torneau cover though. The resiude was rinsed with a spray of water and the hood allowed to dry overnight. The hoos was then sealed with 303 Fabric Protectant, just sprayed on liberally and allowed to dry. The afters:
