The GT is now my daily, not ideal but needs must. Had to put the original deckchair seats back in because the Alfa seats effectively made it a 2 seater

Lots of jobs to do on it, first will be to raise the hi lows to allow 4 in at a time. Then a bloody good scrub, it's mingin after the Wirral to Llandudno run. I'll do some photos when I can work out how on my phone

why not keep the drivers seat with the Alfa seat and have the old Mini seat for the passenger seat? Then you get the extra rear leg room but are still comfortable as the driver.

Having different seats would mess with my brain lol

Poor Holy Crap! has now been side lined after the new arrival of a daily, it proved to be a trusty work horse after my lease ended on my old car. 

 

I've got a few jobs to do now, replace the cone filter for a k+n in the original air box, oil/filter change, new dash liner, arch covers, put the alfa seats back in and finally put the fresh air ducts in

Never mind the important jobs like adjusting the clutch and rear brake drums in preparation for Wirral to LLandudno run next weekend, it's time to fit the dixie air horns

Just an hours work tomorrow to fit the toggle switch under the dash and it'll be good to go. My neighbours will hate me
