I know a guy with a killer OG paint PG SG…..
Yes so do I, but dose he have a back seat
Nah don’t think he does, although it would look killer!
I also think the money for a seat if he had it (doubtful) could be better spent on a motor!

Hey Brad would my rear board out of the 67 work? It’s crusty enough.
I’ll send a photo when I’m at the shed next.

Font seat finished off
Unfortunately no pic of it in the front
Things seem a bit tight on getting it to fit, might need some lube
And I might of overlooked a wheel tub / seat spring mod
Will investigate tonight

Use a heat gun to warm up the vinyl to help stretch it, be careful not to burn it by keeping the gun moving
Looking great tho mate, can’t wait to go for a spin in it

Seat installed
Tighter fit because of the slightly raised mounting point
I did test fit the frames when I made them yrs back but unfortunately didn’t test fit with the springs installed as well.
And overlooked the the fact that springs would be bottoming out on the tubs and wouldn’t sit completely flush on the rubber stoppers
Lucky for me once 90kg is on them we have a nice fit
