Ive had to use a different seat mount from my last pic. When i fitted both seats the passenger one sat far too high so ive changed the mounting and it now sits as low as it can

I think you'll find that's the navigators seat.... :proud:

Coming along nicely, that's the same position that we hope to get our nav seat in... but we're still fightning with the drivers seat position at the moment!!

Not really mate, things have been on the back burner a little as i've been saving for my wedding, but thats all done and dusted in march so hopefully i can get going again. Did u know i had a little crash in the mini too lol? Took it to a jim carna style auto test and crashed into a bigh F**k off tracktor tyre lol All is good though as the damage was very minor. all i need to do is replace the passegner arch and im good to go again. Its my own fault to i never got the tracking done before i went and the handling was awful. How much ya got left on urs then dude?

Update : done a lot of fiddly jobs this week or jobs I wasn't happy with. I now have both door bars cut and ready to weld up but I have a few welding jobs I want to do so I plan to do them all at once. I wasn't happy with the finish on the centre console even though it had been etch primed and loads of coats it still scratched easily. So I decided to "wrap" it instead , I'm happy with the finish now

I've also got the harnesses and the seats how I want them though until I drive it I won't know if the drivers seat needs to come forward a bit more, I'm 6ft 6 but like a fairly close up and vertical position. But that's a job for another time when it's on the road . You might be able to see the passenger seat is slightly lower and further back, though it won't go any further due to the cage
