Kind of feels a bit like this at the moment ! That isn't how it is for me luckily (at the moment)
Really does not feel like I have spent any time at home over the weekends :( So yes I ran away to the work shop this afternoon. I swoped over the rear flexi brake lines from rubber to braided as I am worried they are just going to fall out of the boot of my daily and that will be then end of them.
Then I set about "just " doing the rear seat mounts for those front seats. I am all to aware about metal fabrication and how a few simple bits to most people look like exactly a 5 minute job and nothing more.
So in my world I "just" double checked runner height with a spirit level to make sure they are not twisted and will slide nicely, "just" double checked my rough measurements from the other day and tweaked them, "just" worked out the best locations and sizes of the spreader plates for said mounts, "just" had a quick look for the materials, "just" measured & marked them out, "just" quickly cut them up then "just" drilled them for bolt holes. In case you hadn't guessed that was a bit longer than 5 minutes to end up with a pile of metal with a few holes and I was using some very expensive and industrial machines to do all of that which you will not find in the garage at the end of your garden.
But yes we are getting quite close now, I might have time Monday to weld the brackets together or it could be Tuesday then they can be bolted to the chair runners and the floor can be marked out for a few holes, seats out, mount the painted brackets (may hold off and powder coat them as they will be on show).
Few bits to order tonight to be ready for the next small phase !
