Thanks lads  :cool:

Had a productive day today.Got the tyres on to test fit,just got to wait for my spigot rings and centre caps to get here which should be tomorrow.
The 195s have a slight stretch on them which i think is just about right.
(iphone pics)






While i was in the garage i sorted the other seat subframe out and welded it into the car.Then fitted the front carpet after a wet vac,had to modify it slightly to sit nice with the new subframes.Also done away with the heating ducts that go to the rear footwell as they are pretty pointless as i will never really have people in the back.
I also replaced ALL the central locking pipework with a hardened 10bar airline flexi hose,just incase i ever have a pipe kink as if the central locking stops working when i have locked the car up im pretty flucked! :grin:

No pics but i will show you the finished article hopefully by the end of the week. :cool:

So.The seats are in and done and the whole front end is back together.FINALLY

What a ball ache.

Pics












Then the new Toyos came
and the centre caps
and the spigott rings
soooo i decided to fit the wheels

Had to drop it another 30mm all round which is a bit too dickhead low for my liking but i had to do this to make the wheels look half decent.
Im not convinced yet.....please convince me lol

Pics



















Also ordered a new headunit as mine packed up
A set of Bonrate lower air ducts for the front bumper which i shall get sprayed
Some pointy valve caps to try and be a scene sheep
and a smooth cover for my single wiper.

Jobs a gudn :grin:

looking great, love the seats, great bit of effort gone into them.  :cool:

The only thing missing on you what's left do to list is some legal number plates.  :lipsrsealed:

Ha ha cheers mate,the numberplates are just for show,(the cars not been on the road since i got them)
Ive got the mot friendly ones in the garage and then i will get some Dubmeister ones ordered.I wanted to get some at Ultimate Dubs but the queue was horrendous,so bought £100+ of detailing gear instead  :evil:
