	I had an rx8 with the black leather and the seats were really comfortable for bucket type seats as stated most if the leather seats came heated which would be a nice touch In the eagle ! If you ever need anything from Peterborough way let me know as my in-laws are from Strood and we often visit and stay in the premier inn by diggerland

	On a technical note...... I think those seats will have a bearing on your power to weight ratio though

	Good work. Get it slammed. My Covin was 800kg with 1.6 8v 100bhp. Fast enough.

MPG wont be great but a nice gentle tootle should keep it in the mid 20's Sweet. James p.s. those seats are often heated so keep you nice and toasty PPS I should have said 75% not 2/3 ! having a moment. Trailer will be empty on way up, if anyone wants to hire space on the back from Fil, for the cost of diesel and increased consumption. I am planning on fixing the seats without motors, one position (mine) and then,losing weight by losing motors. However, heated seats, if one can retain them, works for me.

I think those seats will have a bearing on your power to weight ratio though Absolutely. But one can lose all the motors etc, Bill was saying, the drivers seat is a lot heavier than passenger side. Would be perfectly fine to have two passenger seats fitted.

	You’ll probably have to put the driver’s seat on a basic manual slide/runner. It’s got to be adjustable for the MoT IIRC.

	Wheels....... What wheels? I know I do love Watanabe’s But they will cost more than the whole car. I can get a set of Wellers cheap, paint them gold. Which is really the way I am visualising the wheels and tyres. Opinions? Keep in mind this is a low to the ground , antisocial kind of creature, cutting a fine line betwee ,good and evil.

	Yes. When I helped my mate finish his Dutton Phaeton in the 80s we fell foul of it. That was pre IVA, just the MoT test. The car’s got to be drivable by another in an emergency, and that person might not be the same size as you. It doesn’t need to be infinitely adjustable, but it has to allow a “reasonable range of adjustment”. Things change, so it might be worth checking, but regs have got tougher, not slacker, in the last 30 odd years.

	So the wheels..... Seems I have offered on these. Waiting to hear from the seller if he will throw in some wheel nuts in, as the Rezin Rockit only has 2 nuts per wheel currently. They are about 80 miles from me, but why make it easy when building something weird. Description says they are used. But they do look nice in the pics. LOST OUT, SOLD. GUESS I SHOULD NOT HAVE SAID ANYTHING. STILL, NEXT....! I do not know the paint colour or codes people use normally. But I do want these in a golden bronze colour Still moving along. .

	For those who remember Edd Weeks who did the conversion on my,1963 Ford Trnsit, he has come up with a colour - Ford Arizona Gold, which is pretty close to what I like. If the car ends up very Red, then the contrast may not be the same as Silver or black, but I think it will be good. He had it on his cars wheels too. Example.

	Copy and paste from UKGSER That's exactly why it's being offered - just in case.... Sorry the timings were off for you Da1sycat. Yup - not on any real time schedule so can take a bit of a detour on the route (which I haven't planned yet). I'm probably going to swing by Alston to drop some bits off for a friend. Grizz is paying for fuel, so any diesel tokens for detours rightfully go to him, but I accept payment in biltong. Seriously guys, it's an empty(ish) trailer going almost all the way across the country. It seems a shame for it to run empty half way. Remembering that it doesn't have sides Currently due to leave Rochester early on Tuesday next week. I plan to dawdle up to Glasgow and take a couple of days over it. Possible option for smaller items to be carried up in the van too - but they have to fit under the bed and not interfere with us living / cooking / sleeping in it. Same goes for the way back but I'm going to be shoe-horning the seats Rian got under the bed, so it has to be really small if it's coming back south. Hopefully we can find a deserving cargo. Otherwise we can at least say we tried Looks like a thing will be happening. Sooon.
