Those seats look fantastic! Presume they've been measured up already and you know they will fit? |

Thanks Andy, they don't slide straight in but the runners need a bit of trimming and they will go in (about 10mm on each side!). They are out of a Monaro (the type that Jaik mentioned ages ago) |

Thanks everyone! Trying to decide on a colour still - thinking a dark gunmetal will be good! Maybe better than black for me. |

I think gunmetal will look very smart - what's up with black though? |

All black - tough to keep clean but can look great - especially if shiny inside |

Very comfy looking seats.
Black is sooo nice, but shows too much dust and muck.

Might go a different route with the interior on this one and have just a sprinkling of polished things and mostly grey leather to go with the seats |

I know but they don't have SS's over there so they wouln't know what I'm talking about! Monaros are the closest thing!
I pulled out Smashies subframe today after disconnectng the brakes, speedo cable, driveshaft and a few bolts. Only took about 3 hours!

The bottom half of the seat might go in but the shoulder 'wings' might be a problem. Get a tape measure out and please check this before you make any irreversible modifications. I was going to put a set of fixed back aftermarket seats in mine but couldn't find any that would fit (except the clubman style, but I don't like the look of them) |

He has plenty but it was black oil! I wondered why he wouldn't start this afternoon before I took his stomach out (fuel tank) and it was because I forgot I no longer had the fuel sender and fuel pump connected!
Smashie's stomach (still had 10litres of fuel - can be used for lawn mower now!) and my 'expert' panelbeating below on the front fenders!
