I'v bought a pair of standard  bucket seats s/h for £70.00 for now which will comply for Road Rallies but i will need to buy FIA Approved seats before the end of the year if i want to do a stage Rally.Iv had a quote of £500 + VAT a pair including brackets,ill also need to upgrade the harnesses.

I had fia buckets in mine when I got it , but as I wanted to use the rear and put the rear seat and bins back in they had to go , so I replaced them with a pair of microcell traveller seats which fully recline and fold up for easy access

My next project will be a daily for work, either a pick up or van.Would be nice to own something that doesn't depreciate in value ;) Id also get the the VAT back on parts bought as it would be classed as commercial.  Bonus !!!!

Still awaiting a couple of new dials and the speedo will be sent away for calibration. Very happy with the result so far.

 

I have also ordered some crinkle effect paint from a local supplier and should have it and the dash finished by next weekend. I will be spending most of my spare time now wiring the car up.
