LMFAOO man that vid was epic. Its perfect, shows how some ppl dont give a shat about how their car rides as long as its low, and others that spend thousands for everything to be perfect.

day off from work and uni so got to work on the car....

and so i went to pick up my seats! finallyyyyyyyyy

got a heap of other stuff done, finished off all the dash wiring and tucked it up, put the air ducting in under the dash, tighted up the rear coilovers, lowered the front some more, installed the front seat belts (although the driver side inertia reel is not the best), mounted the fire extinguisher and bonnet latch

pics to come tonight after i finish up! might try put the seats in tonight, but running out of energy

Seats seats seats seats seats

[Water Boy]

Wooop woooop! Yeah........

[dubmc]

haa given up for the night!

pictures tomorrow after i put the seats in, can't wait to see what it looks like!

i must say also, the guy who fabricated the rails for me from me did an ace job, real tidy

[Jace]

Take some pics of the rails for me as well please.

If I have a MK1 with a black interior one day I'll hopefully get the same seats!

so went a bit crazy with the photos, but you can't blame me i've waited long enough ahah althought it was hard to get a good shot as it was raining outside and i dont have much room around the car lol

basically the original runners were welded to the recaro runners, so now that plate you see acts as a mount in conjunction with the front front and the seats slide on the recaro runners which works well because they slide heaps easy (hope that makes sense?)

anyway, couldn't be happier with the way they look and feel in the car! i want to repair the passenger bolster at some stage but for now i'm just admiring having some front seats in the car ahah and awaiting rego next week
