It´s started as normal that i browse facebook and find a astro van for sale. And asked if they had some van seats. They did have a sofa and i thought its was good price so i gets in my van and start her upp after the vinter she starts right upp. I starts drivng and is nearly there. I stops to ask for direction and i find that the engin owerheated. I try to open the coolant and all the water ends upp on the ground i did manages to not burn my self but always be carful whit coolant. the electric fan had a bad earth pints so chek your electric fan after stoaring. keep on trucking to the place to pick up the soffa. the enging is so hoot it smoking out off the valve cover hmm not good the compresion is weak. let the engine coldown then i start here upp filling upp coolant.. or plain watther. The engine makes an awful noise is it a bearing? i remove the valv covers and junkes the seal. The valves looks nice... hmm Iti´s ending up to be the dipstick that bent out of shape by the heat. the engine is going strong... now the only problem is it now losing oil... keep on truking stop by a relativ to fill up oil and ewerything went good after that. allt this mess for a sofa. a nice sofa by the way

I got the sofa now the restoration can begin

I remove the seats and wash the fabrics in the washing machine. The foam base is ready for the wash put them in the bathtub and some washing powder. Then i try to get them to dry which is impossible. I tuck them in the drying cabinet and they is finaly dryed

Painted the frame and re install the foam base and the fabric

Stitch the little damage in the seats. And they are done
