Soooo i couldnt find boss seats,got these from my friend toy...thats his nickname cause he is toywanees,real name lee-roy,it was all messed up,frame bent,torn,welding cracked ect ect dont know what he did on the seats but i washed it,stripped it and sent it for a patch up while welded the frame,then decided to cut off the rails from my old seats and welded it to the buckets,now i have full adjustment up down forward back,usually it bolts to the floor but now it fits on the original mounting points.

The car came with a piece of crap exhaust system,loud and mild steel,went to power flow and when they put it on the lift i saw the floor was abit rusty,so i said wait,rather let me replace the floor panel then rubberise the whole bottom THEN fit the 63mm system. So i cut off this crap bottle box at home solong,then bought a 63mm rear box and welded it on myself just so its quieter. Actually decided if i must build my own exhaust....


Attachments:
File comment: the car came with this 57mm bottle with what looks like a piece of scrap metal for a tail piece,straight system,was vrek loud!

Sorry to hijack. I need a sparky please. I pulled out my loom to replace it and I think I pulled out a blue wire from the plug that runs to the back of the car. Too bang to pieter in case I cause a fire. Do you still do call outs? Matroosfontein.
