Talking 2 Seats,12 Cuts and a lot of swearing

Well after having my bucket seats for nearly 3 months i decided to try and fit them To try and keep cost down i wanted to keep the original subframes. However,the bottom of the bucket seats wer substantially smaller then the originalsSo a few strips of steel were found and holes drilled accordingly. However i forgot to take in to account the mechanism thet allows the seat to slide So off the steel strips went for modifying. They came back and fitted with 1" spacers to allow the handle to move the slider And today the job was complete A big thanks to my dad for helping and also a huge thanks to Air Prescission Engineering in Pontarddulais for the metal work

Hope you like them




And my living room looking like a seat factory


I also owe my Mum a new coffee table
