Post by: AntLockyer on June 16, 2008, 12:30:11 pm
Looking for a highback seat for my bug. Beard or similar. What have you got?

Thanks

Should have added I'm in North West Kent/South east London so close enough to pick up would be perfect.

Thanks

Ant, I've got the Corbeau Forza seat out of my old car, Headstraight, taking up space in the unit. It's on a frame my Dad welded up that just bolts throught the floor. It's a vinyl covered seat rather than the cloth cover they normally come with. Couple of small tears in the vinyl, but nothing major.

pm me your mobile number and I'll send you a picture tonight. I'm a bit further away in the Midlands, but should be able to bring it to Shakey for the Nostalgia Nats at the end of the month and pass it onto Dave or Pete.

Cheers Neil. I've actually got a modern seat knocking about (it is bright red however). I was after something a little less English :)

I'll bear it in mind if I get stuck though, thanks again.

No worries mate, I'm after something a little less modern for my next car too! (And a pair of them... ;) )

I'm starting to think a head rest welded to the cage is the answer.

Two seats  ??? what madness is this?

 :D

MOT, lights and wipers, IDAs, full cage, bus box, carpets! I NEED a street car! That was the worst thing about Headstraight - the fact that I couldn't take it to club meets, drive to work and generally spank jap cars! :D

that's why the Red car went to be honest. I used to love jumping in it and driving to the shops :)

At some stage I will make mine a street car, when I have the time and money to play around with trying to cool an engine and stuff :)

It's a pair, but see if they'd sell just one?
