Small update :wink:
Image
MK1 grill fitted
Image
These are on the way to Andrew Turner in the UK for a refurb.
Image
Welded up some seat brackets .
Image
And fitted the porker seats at the angle I wanted. At some point the drivers seat had alloy spacer blocks made and fitted between the seat and runners . So I removed them .
