Well obvioursly I am going in the opposite direction as most as I just took out my bucket seats and put my stock seats back in.
1) this car will primairily be used daily
2) those buckets where major uncomfortable things for someone my size.
Possibly at some day I will add a nicer fitting bucket on rails for myself.

Removing the seats I did find this little bit of creative hammering:

apperently the person who put in the bucket seats mounted the 4points on the old mounting bracket and wasn't happy about its position. I need to get it fixed somehow some day.

Also that person drilled rather big holes through the bottom of the car to mount the buckes seats. Now by itself this isn't bad, its expected, but he drilled them right through those square members that go under the car! Can anyone say: this will rust like crazy now and ruin my car???!?!
Gottah get some new bits welded in soonSad

But the end result is, I do have some normal seats again!:

Owh and I finally got the yotoya thing off, the grill is now in the garage waiting for a new coat of paint, haven't desided on the exact color yetSmile
So here is a grillless picture:

Next stop, APK end of the week (MOT), hope she passes. Rimms should be in sometime this week,maybe next week so they are off to be powdercoated and fitten with new rubber. Hopefully by then my fenders will be in and she can go to the body shopSmile

Ah! Great! I can see you are making a lot of progress... Indeed was the yotota a bit annoying on the grille. Did you manage to get it in the right order back again?

Ivan,

Nah I'll stick with the levin badge for now, don't want to add unnecesairy weight to my carSmileSmile

I bought a new distribution belt + tentioner, new altenator belt, new oil filter and K&N cleaner kit today. Also got a belt for power steering or AC but I dont have that so guess that remains in stock.

I never swapped a distribution belt before, any of you dutch guys wanne drop by my place and help me out so I know for sure I am not going ruin my engine?Smile
