A quick heads up on the drivers seat.. around $300 for a good second hand..
If its the same as mine it was the inner top rail which has let go? I've just welded solid steel to the top and inside edges to give it strength. I'll photo it tonight for you..

Cheers champion - figured it could be welded, but the seat bolsters are torn also, so was looking at a good second hand replacement ...Quote:

Got given a 4WD Action magazine for my birthday and decided to whack the DVD on just now and who do I see but Tank and the big fella himself!
Looking good mate .....it will be interesting to see how much it brings the temps down by.
Regardless it looks sh!t hot.
Yeah who cares if it doesn't work when it looks that good lmao!
Too right mate - interested to see if (should due to air 'draw') it let's more air flow through and drop "under load" temps when the turbo is spooled up. That passenger side vent is nearly dead centre over the top of the turbo, so irrespective it will at least let hot air escape which has to be better than it is now ...Quote:

the 1mm turbo wheels are good. we started with a jig saw but the metal blade was too course. If you cut lightly with the 1mm it does a good jobQuote:
