The fitting of the seats!!!
Yesterday as the sun came up i awoke knowing i had to fit these seats, and i was praying that they would fit! So i called up the lads who seem to always get dragged into my world of modifying! We cracked the kettle on and we began to work out how we were going to go about doing it!
(dpar with a brew!)
Brewed up, we now had the seats in the garage and we were now ready to crack on!
The car was completely stripped down, the front seats were taken out.
( i never knew how much i bit my nails, I must have found thousands under the seat frame
. once the car was stripped down, we began to place the seats in the car, yet we came to a massive problem! The seats would not sit how we thought they would! We thought they would perhaps bolt onto the existing brackets, but no, the seats litertally sat on the floor, and when testing sitting in them! I could barely see over the steering wheel! And im 6ft 3, so hardly short
So.............. Major decision time? How the hell would we manage to get the seats at the right height, we went back to the drawing board!!
We decided we were going to make our own frame, something which would bolt onto the existing runners that old seats went into. So that was the plan, this would make the seat sit at the right and also mean the frames were secure!
So let the mayhem commence!
We eventually got the frame made! and it was actually a very very well done job! So once the frame was in position, we could now bolt the chair to the frame, and the front of the chair to the floor. This was done for both seats!
Well , that was once we had managed to get the drill out of the floor! it got stuck for quite a while!
