Tapped holes for new(s/h) Ford captains passenger seat yesterday after work,
now just finished fitting it as the sun went down 8) (too dark now for pics, sorry Sir Alan)
Very happy to have it in and matching the drivers seat at last :D

Hoping to collect banded wheels and narrow axle next weekend,
which will then need modding before it's fitted :wink:

Mark 'loudboy' thank you very much for collecting my new rims and narrow axle 8)
Lots of work ahead now getting it all ready to fit,
not to mention finding tyres :roll:

Need two 245/65-14 or similar (wider would be :twisted: ) if anybody hears of a pair.

I fitted my central locking to the rear door at Christmas, and finally wired it up today and got it working.
No more going through the side door to open the rear 8)
Lock hole to weld up now, and still need to weld up passenger door lock hole.

Planning a change of van soon, so need to get a few jobs sorted.
