Re: Question about traveller under door bottom repair

100 people who have something to do with minors have read this and dont know what im talking about??Even the guy on youtube video fitting the door bottom doesnt mention the inner door bracket/skin/reinforcer.
Should the lower under door panel be plug welded through to it?

Re: Can anyone tell me anything about the seats i have?

So from what im being told the general setup for front seats in a two door is drivers seat just adjusts for leg length,passengers seat should tilt right forward pivoting on the front bar of the seat base through the two front floor brackets?

Can anyone tell me anything about the seats i have?

When i bought this complete interior i was told they were from a late 50,s two door? All the front seats do is theres one lever to the side at the front,base of the seat.You push it down and the seat clicks forward a few notches and the whole seat tilts as well. The rear door cards for where a 4 doo...

Re: Fitment of aftermarket panels,really frustrating!!

I really just can't get things rolling with this restoration,wasn't expecting all this hassle,putting a damper on things to say the least.I'm just going to have to wait on the wood i ordered,then cut and poke around with these panels to make them remotely minor shaped.

Re: Fitment of aftermarket panels,really frustrating!!

Good question!I've got no idea where he gets the ones he sells.Ones from gs jones were the worst,no pre drilled holes for hinge,screws and bigger than original all round.

Re: Fitment of aftermarket panels,really frustrating!!

Been in touch with Steve Foreman and he says he's never had bother with the ones he fits?I sent him pics and he says they're 'way' off
I've tried contacting esm and gs jones to return the items i have purchased from them but they're not interested.No replies to emails etc.
