cusion have been ordered, next week i hope it'll be on the road and i can use it




what's the law on rear lap belts, hove i got to have them, i know i should, but havin no one that would ever sit in the back while it's on the move seems like a waste

Looking good there dude, its coming on nicely. Just need to slam it fit big bumpers and a square headlight conversion!! Oh and whats with the dark stained "old mans" wood???

Mine went in for the MOT yesterday, and it failed (as I expected) but not big time, so i've left it with em to do the work for me. It failed on:

Brakes binding on
Needs 2 new rear flexis
Front solid brake pipe
New front tyre

Should have it back and all legal by the weekend hopefully.

Oh and regarding the rear belts, I folded my RnR bed flat and placed an old matress that i'm gona take to the dump in there and there was no mention of rear belts as far as I know.
