Are you going to get through that gap with a seat in Simon

[Jolly Green Monster]

I only have little legs

if not I have a hacksaw

[Jolly Green Monster]

People have suggested it will be difficult to get in and out so I had a test

The cage

Stew said the same today

I Have seats from green car with very worn drivers seat but not got budget to replace yet, bit if screen has to come out to get them in and out lol thats no fun.

Getting quotes for painting at the moment

It shouldnt rust more than surface as it is chromoly.

Also it appears it maybe lucky to be inside from next week

[DukeBoy]

I reckon your'll be ok with the seats

[Jolly Green Monster]

Me too

Was funny as I suggested as rear screen will be perspex and easy to fit and remove they could go threw there.
Stew the reminded me of the metal work there lol like the massive cross

[Jolly Green Monster]

Massive thanks to Ian(bod) for his help today, thanks yo stew at tfs for use of man tools and for making both Ian and I feels stupid by noticing the obvious lol

Have you an idea of wanting it finished by?

[Jolly Green Monster]

Really pleased with current progress

Fair bit to do yet, this is just dummy engine fit etc to position everything.

Main delay at moment is probably going to be cams

[2-jaffacake-tone]
