I made some brackets for mounting the Simca seats I have, they are quite heavily constructed but rather be safe than sorry!

I'm now finished with mounting the seats, I will make some turned aluminium plates to cover the mounts.

Also mounted a double quiet pack again, last year I've fitted a A1 muffler, but I couldn't get used to the looks of it.
I hoped on just bolting it to the car, but this didnt come true... when I mounted it it was rather off centre. So I cut of the flange and welded
on another bigger one. Also welded up the holes for the bumper brackets as I won't be using these again.

LOL And Fill in those Cut Outs LOL thats an Order!!! |

Or you could tuck it up a bit higher by making small peashooter like cutouts in the rear apron for the bumper. That would look pretty nifty |

Shubee, as you can see from the side my merged header and dual quiet pack, come out a little bit at the back. Therefore I like the way it's mounted now so it "protects" the exhaust a little.  |

LOL if anything hits you in the back that Buggy bumper Wont Protect anything it will bend like a Pretzel its only for looks and it keeps the cops off your butt for no bumpers |

That's something on the to do list, lower the back 2 or 3 cms and put a limiter strap on! and yes still waiting... |

Had a silly idea this friday and decided it should have a single colour for Bug-In.... So I removed all the decals, and started sanding the car. It's sanded now and will be painted next weekend! Picture shows the 67 without decals, and my friend Sams 63 with trim holes welded  |
