Keyser Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 First job today was to shorten and shape the legs that go into the OEM mounts Got to use one of my Christmas presents as well Got the mounts off set to move the seats closer to the middle so they clear the door Bolts welded into the other seat runners Next problem was the OEM rear clip, it is to high so the seat can rock an inch up before it engages So I cut it down and re welded it Drivers side seat sorted The previous owner had welded a plate in presumably for his bucket seats but it was in the way so I could not fit the OEM passenger side seat clip so I had to cut it out. As you can see it did a bit of damage so I'll weld that up next time and get the passenger seat finished. Stay tuned for the next exciting episode ......................

HaydnH Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I reckon Brickyard would suit a Mini better than Sunset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flex Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 When are you spraying? I 'd love to watch (seriously) to see how difficult it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 When ever it's ready keep an eye on here. I would caution that I only have one air fed mask - Bob has managed about 15 minutes with the fly mask on while I'm spraying clear coat then you start to smell it but clear coat is bad for hanging in the air basecoat is is much cleaner when sprayed (well it is for me anyway) But welcome to come along and see how not to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
