I managed to fit the Calibra seats in today as I have the van back at last! Not very easy when it is pissing it down and you're working with one good hand! Looks good though and the seats are just as comfy as i remember my old Calibra's ones being.

Still loads to do and due to weather will not have as many things i'd like done to it. I want to get the back lowered but it's a case of how I do it.

No I didn't. I'm amazed I got anything done today with the weather we have had. It literally has not stopped raining all day!
It's not finished by a long shot but it's as good as it's going to get for the time being. I've rushed jobs too much as it is.

I bet it didn't have human effluent spattered up the inside of the van back.

Running and reliability report. First outing in it was to PV where it performed well there and back. Got to PV from Norfolk on a Tenner. Then this weekend I went from Norfolk to Stroud, Gloucestershire and back and it behaved very well. Sometimes managing 90 mph! Strange thing is that the more use it gets, the quicker it is feeling.
