It's been a few busy days, some progress and some negatives but onwards and upwards.

First up, trial fitment of the rear Run Free bumper





Fitment was ok across the back


But when the fabricators widened the arches they aledgedley had a fibre glass guy in to modify the bumpers to suit the new arches. As can be seen here, that never happened!!!
I need to find a Fibreglass specialist who can modify this bumper to suit.



With my latest discovery I thought I would try the front Run Free bumper to see if that had been modified, we are in luck, they did the front bumper, just not the rear bumper




Next up, the inside of the car was bugging me, it was absolutely filthy, 3.5 years at the fabricators, 3 years at Zen so it was out with the seats and cleaning products to see what could be done. The 3 year old masking tape was a PITA to get off!

Clean up under way, tape off the door bars



Arty shot.. Lol




Looking much better now


Eye bolts for the harnesses


Time to clean up my Bride seats, remove all the masking tape.



New bolts for the seats, much better than the mix and match set that were in there previously


One eyebolt on the drivers side is ok but the one on the tunnel may be an issue on my seat position, may need to move this later.




Seat back in its new clean environment with its new bolts


I couldn't resist trying the Takata harness, I need to get some buckles to wrap the rears around the roll bar once installed.
