Seats are a piece of piss to fit mate

Shiny bit on the bottom is all you need:


I then made some out of thicker stuff:

Voila

Yeah I used an old battery to lower the motor, when you make the brackets make the back of the seats sit a little lower than the fronts, it makes them lovely to sit in then

Well ive done about 1000 miles since i had the engine rebuilt.
rebuild at 25k miles INSANE, But everything feels good.

since getting the car back ive realised the car sits abit lower (changed the wheels the day the car snapped its cam so never got to park on the drive prior lol) so i catch the floor of the car on the driveway

obviously without me in the car so its off the floor


Cleaned the recaros aswel after they had dried out from being left out in the rain :\

before and after, the after had another wipe down after the pic.


few random ones now because im a photo loser!

dwarfed by a yaris WTF




filthy motor!


Also sorted my insurance for a decent price, while looking for my certificate etc i found my driving test sheet

fair happy with it tbh




Thats all might clean it tomorrow if im feeling nice and the weathers decent(ish)

, It took me 2 attempts though, first time I drove through a red light and changed lane at a roundabout without checking my mirror, so that was 2 majors along with 7 minors

2nd time was a lot better though

Oh.. and the seats are noice! They out of a Vectra?
