As usual - there are many more jobs to go, but it was a big weekend. Gav started looking at the Autospark wiring loom - but without installation instructions, well - it's going to take some working out..!
Generally we work on the car in tandem - Gav does the hard stuff, while I do the easy stuff.. :angel: :wasntme:
I think that my baristar skills are improving... :angel:
Cheers for now.
Yep, a cup of tea is now on the menu.:D
On the home stretch now. Just the back hubs and brakes, the wiring loom and it will be close to being able to be driven. A few other bits and pieces to tidy up and you'll be looking for that next project...:)
Did someone say new project?
Found one for you.

Hi All,
For those interested - "Roger" is in the current edition of Land Rover Monthly (winter edition) page 68 onwards...!
PS - aulro gets a mention as well as Gavin! :)
those seats look awesome
Grey Ghost
Can you tell me what vehicle those seats come from as they look comfortable (something that can't be said about the originals!) and fit the cabin nicely. And do they fold forward to give access to the starter handle etc.
Thanks
Nic
Hi Nic,
The seats are brand new - they are the "Deluxe" seats from BritPart. I bought them off ebay over a year ago and can't remember the exact price. But it was less than $500 delivered - for all 6 seats (driver base/back, middle base/back, passenger base/back).
Yes they fold forward - and yes they are very comfortable compared to the originals! My originals were completely stuffed - hence the reason why I purchased a complete set.
Because they are Britpart - you can get them from many of the UK suppliers. I think that BritPart may even sell direct now (I remember reading something about this). Google is your friend!
Hope that this helps.
