a pair of golf leather front seats

only paid £20 for the pair but that was because of

dreaded rip in the drivers seat

drove it around like that for a while then unfortunatly due to lack of funds she came off the road due to lack of tax, mot and insurance and whilst working on my exhaust had a mate pop over and found out that my rear suspension had been put together wrong (previous owner) the bottom suspension cap/spring seat was upside down so off came the rear suspension and discovered that i could go lower so guess what :

so luckily had a spare boot hanging around
