Had a look at at your rear sub frame, when dropping of my car
down at z cars During the week, looks good,
they are going to get it to SVA standard as work is holding me back
its a pain but I have to finish it this year,

Hey Ben,

Did it look ready to get delivered? cant wait to get and get started.
Thats the only thing thats worrying me about this project, getting it through an MOT not sure where to go the last thing i want aswell is it being a Q plate.
My works been pretty mad also but try my hardest to squeeze in a few hours most nights bloody shattered like but it'll be worth it.

Yes it looks ready to go, not sure if the guys have anything else to do to it
before being sent out to you, if I knew it was ready I could have brought it up for you
saving you the expense,

Back offshore Sunday for a short trip to sort out a Job
and hope to get back down to Z Cars and Deliver my Kirky Seats and see how things are
coming along.

Happy Building, Ben.

[plugfaebervie]

take it ur ad hoc? pays the bills though i was planning on going down myself to have a seat in the demo car but it'll prob cost me the same to get there and back as is to get it up here.
Kirkey seats nice, im liking a set of cobra evolutions but not sure if they'll fit

Well have a safe journey mate

get a set of kirkey seats, they fit in the mini well and they hold you in the seat, there are other bucket seats like the cobra ones as you say. better trying both seats to see which ones fit you and the car.

Top Man, keep up the good work.You've still got a long road ahead and there will be more time sin the future when you wonder why on earth you started the project but stick with it and the grins you'll get at the end are so worth it......
