Pandas Seat

[tony]

Well after last Sundays day out , it was decided due to the fact that SWMBO is a lightweight short @rse@ person

Could not see over the tyre on the bonnet,
and kept slideing towards the passanger side of the car on the bumpy tracks

Something had to be done about the seats in the landie...she wonted some like in the rangie...

So I had a couple of these siting in a old 2 door

I have news for you, "no one can see over the tyre on the bonnet if it's a 7.50 16", when you do that everyone is driving by memory for everything on the LHS of the centreline. :D ;)

I like the camo pattern, looks almost genuine Aussie Army!

Regarding the mudrails are you also going to remove the top of the transom to allow the rake of the new seats be adjusted?

Yer I know but at least until we decide where its gonna go when we move it off the bonnet at least with the new seat she can see over it a little bit.

Only "looks almost genuine" Ha it is,same stuff as the ADF use

Don't quite know what you mean here, with the rails on that takes out the back slope of the seat base, so the seat now sits level and it slides a long way back so theres no need to remove any bits..??

Having the spare on the bonnet is fun going over sand dunes :) You can't see anything but blue sky :D



The seats look really good BTW...who did the upholstering? Tony or Panda? Top job anyway ;)

All the trimming was my own handy work, I'm getting better at it all the time.Still a pain sewing the curves on the seat bases though..

next job will be awnings for the rangie

Considering Tony's ex employer wouldn't the Camo paint be classified as genuine ADF?

Probably painted it in his sleep after the years of practice spannering on the things.

If Ms P was an Amazon, you'd need to cut part of the tub, this is what Di was talking about:

Hi Yer Langy

Yer I did think that might have been it, but could'nt see why you would have to have cut the top off, as when I put the seat in because it sits level now it slides way back, (jeeze thats good english)

still gotta make some minor adjustments to the mounting system the seat is to high gotta lower it a bit.

never mind

gotta make the passanger side now,

Trying to get morgans car ready for an explore in a fortnight, time we went out an did some serious stuff.

by the way the gold one had a melt down last night, on the way up from the gong...hav'nt looked at it yet though so no idia what the melt down was
