i'll try and remember to get one tomorrow
finally got the seats in!;
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1247319/IMG_2282.jpg)
they were a right bugger to fit, still not perfect as they don't slide very well. think i might just get some mk1 front and rear seats in there. the rear seat back bit is quite heavy too….
some cutting welding measuring;

a bit quicker on the D/S seat as i knew where and what to cut…
rawwwwrrrr;

fitted the chrome grill too;

![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1247319/IMG_2287.jpg)
can't really see it in the rubbish light though! might try it again when the suns shinning (keeping my hopes up!)
but put my other single headlight grille on;

The seats look pretty good!
If you are ever thinking of selling those wheels, you know where to come…

Mine has got Vectra recaros in and they just don't feel right to me for some reason. I think they're not quite aligned right.

Maybe hit it with some heat first if you have the facilities.
