Nice lookin Q chester. I put vx seats in mine took about 30min per side

Thanks mate,was it much mucking around to do the seats,it don't look to hard,ive measured the bolt holes and seem pretty close.

Got the drivers seat in last night was a bit of mucking around, but mate it's improved the ride 100%.Had to file the bolt holes to fit the nissan runners,only drama is the i had leave the adjusting knob off as it hit the B piller.Mate who is a welder is gunna help on the passenger seat next weekend,if we can get it sitting closer to the centre of the patrol,i will pull the RHS out and redo it.But like i said it's now very comfy to drive.
I wil post pic's when the LHS is done.

Here's one seat too lazy to do the other one yet

Painted my bulbar the other day,it was gloss black now it's charcoal in a hammertone finish.
It looked great on the shed floor but once i fitted it back up it did'nt look like i expected it to, but it is starting to grow on me.

Finally got my backside into gear and got the V8 out,it's now at my brother-in-law's place ready to pulled down and rebuilt.
One step at a time can't rush these things.

bleFinally got around to stripping the motor last night,the crank is in excellent shape as are the bores,the heads have seen better days but are fixable.
