Yeah cheers m8 4 the strut brace .... fittd it as soon as i got home!

Got the seats off Ebay! (made by - Autotechnica) Normally £250 per seat, but i paid £300 for the pair brand new off sum geez coz m8y cudnt fit em & wudnt pay 2 av em dun!

It ent the point of wot seats u get, u av 2 av the time 2 do all the weldin, mounting points & that as they are all difrent hights! Quotes i got 4 sum1 else 2 do em rangd frm £300 - £350!!! MADNESS!!!
Takes alot of plannin & pi**in bout but dun 1 seat in 1/2 a day! Not bad 4 the 1st time! Shows ow much money u can save by avin ya own welder & tools etc ...

I tried getin brackets 4 it but it was guna cost just as much as the seats!
Ther actualy realy cumfy & once the otha seat is in ther wont b a hight difrence!

Just av 2 watch me legs as i get in the drivers seat!

I fink they look alrite, not a bad attempt for a non-pro! Most ppl r 2 scared 2 tackle thez fings on ther own!

They look really good 8)

I renember when i fitted bucket seats in my golf, they took ages to fit and weld in. Then when the were in they were sat way to low i could hardly see the road :lol: So had to have some mounts put it to get a decent height.. It was all worth it in the end though 8)
