Bolt a wingback armchair in it, proper comfort.

I've stuffed memory foam in mine it's far more comfortable now, but I'm still sat bolt upright like someone's Nan I her Honda Jazz. Corbeau won't show up for a couple of weeks so Donny's going to be have to done in the ejector seat.

Yeah I can see why they're so cheap now, a bloody fold up camping chair would be more comfortable.

I just ordered a Corbeau Pro sport with mounts and sliders

Too extreme for a road car, I won't see a thing with those side head supports.

A Cobra Monaco S I got off FB marketplace for £120, it's very basic with no padding and not at all comfortable, I've got some memory foam I can use for a cushion for now

For the first time ever the insurance was cheaper than the tax, they said it's fallen into the retro category and because it's not my main car it's also cheaper, which is mad because my postcode is classed as a DMZ by most insurers. Tax : £410 Insurance : £380 £70 of that was admin fees

It's home. Clutch is a bit high, but I'm used to an old Golf tdi with a meaty clutch so it might just be a case of getting used to it again, I do have a new clutch sitting in a box thanks to Filters, (I can't spell his new username) so not an issue if it needs swapping. I also hate my new...

That's improved my mood after a shitty day at work. Just wish I wasn't working all bloody weekend.

MOT will be next week at some point.

F*cking amazing, I forgot how rowdy it was. Can't wait to drive it.

Why do I always end up with potato phones? With the wind noise and rear boot trim rattling like an old touring car, the phone has massacred the audio, it sounds way better than this, but f*ck it, it's done and it's quick again. 😁

I wasn't looking forward to this as I knew it would be a pain in the arse. I was right, four hours later and a lot of swearing it's done. Had this Kam racing mount knocking about for years so while I'm down there... Old one was f*cked. Still need to fit the seat harness and a new...

It's in, the extra 5cm seems to be on the thread, panic over....hopefully.

The outer CV is fucked on my old one, only thing I can do is try and fit it and see how I get on, but knowing my luck I've been sold the wrong part and will spend the afternoon failing to fit it, even the shaft diameter looks different.

Went and bought a new driveshaft from a refurb place, despite typing my plate into the system I get home with it and there's a 5cm difference in length. Is that a cup driveshaft?

Anyone got a passenger driveshaft for a non cup sport? The one I got sent are the wrong size 172 F*ck knows 172 F*ck knows 172 F*ck knows Really wish I'd checked before I did this Got a track day in 3 weeks, starting to look like that'll be wasted money.

This bloke restores Fords and builds classic touring cars for a living.

Progress has been made. Interior bits sprayed black, visors done in fabric paint so it stretches. A pillars done in leftover material, looking nicer than the day I bought it, the rest of the car looks a shitheap in comparison. FInally got the seat fitted, omp base needed it's mounting...

I do like an old Rover, most are still quite cheap to buy.

I'm sure his normal stuff is fine, buy the joke songs they make up for their project builds are f*cking terrible, when I do watch their vids I end up skipping most of it because of their adverts and shite music vids.

If you can call it that.

MCM vids are just feature length infomercials these days, I get that you're trying to make a living but the cars seem secondary to the product placements and shite music vids they think are funny.

I reckon he could have parked it sideways and still be within the lines.

New driveshaft still to go on, oil seal side so new box oil too. A&B pillars might get done in headlining material, I'm not so sure but Ryan thinks it'll look good a tie in the headlining, plus we've got a load of material left over. I've got the sun visors and some interior plastics to clean...

Headlining done with suade Took most of the afternoon to do it right, potato phone decided to f*ck the photo up but you get the idea. This as as far as we got today, new passenger seat that isn't covered in shite and seat base mocked up with threaded rivet nuts in the factory seat holes...

Yeah we have no idea there were different one either.
