Thanks.
No way carrying extra weight without function Back seat is in place for hiding the audio (future plans) and sound isolation purpose. Though I'm pretty sure you will find no passangers on the rear bank, but it is still nice to have access to the battery area or throw a bag there. On page 3 you find pics about the Wiechers seat consoles i am using, they are designed to pop the seats forward so there you go.

I was told they were Recaros but can't prove that as i could find no signs at all. Bought them in Germany (from a nice BMW2002), maybe they are vintage Konig or Wiechers ones.

However they are bucket seats the back is still adjustable in a 0-15 deg. range that's why you can see the adjuster on the outer side. Might be useful during a longer trip. They weigh only 6 kgs each, way less than the previous Sparcos (recliner) did.

Thank you guys, your builds here inspired me a lot!

It's time for detailing:

















Ignore the rubber fuel lines, braided hose with AN fittings are part of the winter project.

Nice tow rig

After 3 years, yesterday I finally drove it! Engine sounds good, brake and suspension feel ok, no oil leaks so I'm happy with it.
