Seat mounts

Does anyone have any measurements of the seat runners, ours had been removed and now need to weld back in but could do with some reference points??

Under seal and finish

I know it's been asked before and after hours of searching I still can't get a definitive right or wrong for a SWB 66' :? So we are now ready for paint and we know which bits needs the 3m sealer but then what parts are painted back and what parts body colour, under the bonnet for example, engine bay...

Re: 66 SWB 912 full

Well it's been a year since we were here but back in the Uk now after our contract has been completed and can finally crack on with getting this back on the road.
To speed the project up we have dropped the shell at a bodywork specialist this morning so hopefully start to get some progress 8)

Re: How far would you travel to see a car?

Happens more than you think, this year alone have been to the West Coast States twice and Oz, on the States flights I sat next to a guy doing exactly the same, in fact we shared a cab into San Fran as the dealerships were only 7 blocks apart :wink:
