CAAWWWW!

Very nice i like!

Can you detail what was needed to get the WRX seats fitted?

[R34]

Thanks Guys

Appreciate the comments especially as this has been a mission....lot harder than I expected.

Not sure on the wheels as they came on the car.

The seats are out of a 2003 WRX crash test car so were virtually perfect unless the dummy crapped himself.

Rears were trimmed to match

Car is fitted with Konis and Nolethane bushes all round and drives like a new car

Underneath has been fully proofcoated after minor rust plating.

The examiner remarked it was immaculate underneath and called a few of the other inspectors over for a look

So, That's stage 1 complete so I need to decide what to do next.

I just want a nice streeter to use in classic rallies etc

Looks sensational, well done! After seeing how good the standard front bar looks, i reckon i might lose the dodgy aftermarket item on mine....

[Silent Shadow]

everything from above i say and very nice pics also!

That is Sweeeeeeet Chris. It's so good to see cars of this era restored to the likes of yours. Hopefully we'll meet up one day at some vehicle convention here in the West. Maybe Motorvation or Powercruise or even better a Datsun/Nissan event. Gee let's start planning that!

[Ghostrider]

All I can say is ............................... I hope my PNV looks as good when it's finished?

Cheers, D

Sounds like a good plan Ricky.

The WRX seats had to be cut and modified a fair bit then welded to the DR30 seat rails to get them low enought for me @ 6'4". Wouldn't recommend it

Cheers
