Also spent today cutting the bodged in bulkhead behind the front seats made out of an old tin top door and sorting out the drivers seat mount, that was also bodged in, had crap sliders and was really not very safe. Karis also needed the seat a bit lower so i made a good set of sliders using part of the ones that were on there and some other runners off a spare seat. Then welded some new mounts to the sliders made out of some 1x2" box, the seat only moves how its supposed to now :thumbup: forwards and backwards when you lift up the lever on the sliders :lol:

Plenty left to do but gonna spend a few evenings on it this week!

Must have had it slightly cock eyed Scottie. Doesn't take much to crack a screen.

Bastard mate. Im sure mike will keep you a good un'. I'm over the moon with my bits. The trip was well worth it. Was the fast back a suitable for your requirements?

Been in the shop again tonight, stripped down, checked and greased the passenger side wheel bearings and free'd up the caliper as it was sticking.

Then stripped the drivers side to fit new wheel and king pin bearings.
