fitted front seats

when are the rear seats going in?

[The Batman]

cheers lads! the rear seats are staying out for weight saving

woke up today with a hangover so i thought why not cut a big hole in the rear clam

[Sticky]

Did you have a template for the clam cut out?

How did you get the lines so straight?

[The Batman]

Yup I had a template that I imagine will be dispersed around the forum now I have decided to extend them and I did it with a dremel!

[MartinS]

I have a template that is the the wider version, and we now have a good site for matching mesh. Martin s

[The Batman]

remember measure until you cannot measure anymore and then cut!

Looks like a really neat job Joe. Are you modifying the wheels arch liners? I've cut the lower section off mine, just after the 2 holes that secure it to the boot floor, to open up air flow from the wheel arch.

[MrSimba]

Really good job there Joe I like the way you've followed the lines of the clam and curved the two corners - that really makes it work and look 'Factory OE' where as when the rear is cut out all at 90' it looks 'Dremel'

[Lordbenny]

All I can say is that you've got balls of steel to do that. Talk about 'once you've started there's no going back' Can we have some pics with the mesh attached and a description of how you attached it please?

dremel dust

[The Batman]

cheers guys! yup just dremel dust, one tip is to not show off your interior to your neighbour and then leave the roof off and carry on cutting im definately more keen on them with the curves as apposed to the very aggressive look of the sharp 90 degree angles but i guess this is down to taste gary, i will be modifying the wheel arches to allow the pressure to be realised, still debating about my front louvres, whether to get them glassed in which will result in a front end respray and the stone chip to be taken off! or to make a statement with them and paint them black and just stick them in! i am thinking this where is my dremel the places i have been to collect parts/engines from are amazing character building ventures unfortunately the mesh isnt in yet as its raining here so kinda stopped play! lee hasnt built me my cover yet
