Thanks @vkbloke84

Bit of an update. Finally got around to painting the back seat. The original and the modified. Just need to fit the trim and bolt it back in.

Bit more of an update on the rear seat. I've shortened the in fill panel as well now and just need to weld it up. I would've liked to cut 80mm off each end but the centres on those ridges are 70mm so that'll do. This is the under side and the reason why i couldn't just cut and shut it...

Finished the filler work yesterday and put it in primer. Just a comparison on a standard rear seat. I've had some paint mixed in that original brown so that'll be the next job.

Bit of filler work on the rear side thats seen.

Bit more progress.. The welding looks a bit average but there was some big gaps and i hate welding sheet metal. LOL Besides, the trim will cover it.

Thanks mate, means a lot. I think i ended up getting 115mm cut off each end from memory. Just be careful though cos a sedan could be different (assuming you have a sedan). My wheels are 15x8.5's with a 3 3/8" backspace. With the size of my tubs i could've gone a 10" wheel but would've had to...

So just an update on the shifter. Now this is just sitting there and nowhere near finished. It was a quick throw together to see how it looked. I'll end up painting it brown the same as the console when its done. That pic is with the B&M Quicksilver shifter in neutral. I think it looks really...

Yeh thats it @gtrboyy. I'm somewhat OCD when it comes to that sort of thing, so everything i do to it has to be perfect or it bugs me. I had to make the 2nd box deeper coz the manual cover plate is flat compared to the auto one being raised. I'm actually going to make a new shifter plate that...

Thanks. I've done all that, thats why i made the 2nd box. I'm not running an auto console top but the factory manual one. The shifter, box and console have been in and out of the car that many times this weekend its not funny anymore. I did think about the wires but i can't get any more room...

Decided to make a drop box for my B&M Quicksilver shifter. The bottom one i made the same as pics i had seen and what mates had told me to do but it didn't suit my application. So instead of cutting it up i just folded up another one. This time i gave it more room to move back and a little bit...

I had a bit more of a go at the back seat today. Measure twice cut once. haha Got the seat all sorted now, just need to weld it up and paint it. Then i put it in for a trail fit. Worked a treat. The reason it steps back in away from the door is to clear the arm rest/door handle. Its...

Cool, I'll check it out. Pity i don't need pads just now though, i've got new ones.

Worst job ever pulling the dash out. I took mine out of my wagon and it was a couple of years before it went back in so i had to try and remember how it all went in. lol All in all its looking good mate. Keep the updates coming.
