second pic from the top, wheel just peekin through the arch, is that a trial fit on how you are having the suspesion lol. Love that number plate FYI "for your infomation". Nice amount of space you have around the car to work, very wise. Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out, agree about the seats, adds character.
