Looks great BasicGreen 8)
Love the color.

My mates Torana had a front seat like that!
We did drive it up and down his street!
When you turn there's not a lot of traction (on the seat).
And when you fit the doors, an occy strap isn't enought to hold the doors closed, they swing out at the same time as the seat loses traction 8)
Don't know how we survived during the 'P Plate' years :lol:

Rick that is 8) 8) 8) . I have a boat that colour but it doesn't look as good as your pride and joy! Gotta love the convo's, they suit the colour, can't wait to see it all together :D .

What size and offset are the convo's?

Well done mate.

What are you still doing on Dial up, broadband so cheap now, not to mention the speed.
Its likes having a old grey motor, then throwing a V8 down your phone line.
No comparison.
There's nothing as Sweet as a EK V8
