.......Like seats that don't try and rattle the fillings out of your head every time a sparrow sneezes at 400yrds in the direction of the trooper or that require you to drive whilst performing a complex variation on the lotus position whilst temporarily dislocating the 5th an 6th vertebrae to accommodate the solid acute angled back support mid spine. In short the old seats were not exactly comfortable


Modified Isuzu seat rails

fortunately Dave salvaged the 'seats' (read armchairs) from the Cavalier which have been duly fitted, not sure if its the comfort level or the provenance in general but sitting in them provokes an instant craving for a pipe, slippers and the Sunday papers probably followed by a nice afternoon nap, which is fine just not on the N21 10hrs south of Calais!


Trial fitting of the new seats

Following a superior level of bodging by myself and Fraser on Friday afternoon (cheers Fraser and his mate with the lock up and power for the drill!!) I trial fitted the seats on Sunday afternoon whilst struggling somewhat through the cheese and port haze from Saturday


Original seat adjustment mechanism retained

A minor amount of tinkering required to retain the sliding mech as I have short legs.


Essential tools

Massive thank you to Kate's dad Chris for letting me use his garage as playing mechanic in the p*ssing rain and wind in the dark is not much fun. The garage floor is covered by carpet very much in keeping with the whole slippers and armchair theme all helped by a constant supply of tea and digestives, thank you Kate. However a little known property of this type of carpet is its unbelievably ability to instantly camouflage and disappear pretty much anything you put on it, I lost an entire seat for about half an hour.


New seat in innit. Can you spot Ed?!

Home from home, the armchair in situ. They are sooooooo comfortable, best mod to the car yet!!!
