Re: No more buggy,,,,, now a bug
After 47years of use the front seats were completely stuffed especially the seatbacks were all broken.
So we wanted to replace them but with a seat with a high backrest
Got a set of Kia picanto front seats for cheap.
Only problem is they are a little too wide to fit inbetween the heaterchannel and the pan tunnel

Re: No more buggy,,,,, now a bug
By using the C. A. D method I made a template loosely based on the Corbeau seatframes where it attaches to pre existing holes in the original seat rails
