*Update
Seat subframe faffin the return..
Finally a ‘prototype’ lol has been mocked up. It nearly fits so just a little re-jigging and we’ve got one done.
The aim is a success.. the frame is more central, the seat will sit lower and without using the floor of the car. So we’ve improved upon the original design ; something ive not really done before.. Although over that original cobra design it wasn’t difficult.
Please note – welding is rough and tacked for the time being.. (mate has done the welding)

Will take better pics later in the week; hoping to finish it properly, painted up.. then refit the passenger seat in its new, lower position. Awesome.
Then gotta do the drivers frame lol. Hope to get that done in one day tho.
Harnesses will then be fitted up, nice and easy - just leaves the dash to do.
Elsewhere ive spent almost all my time sorting the calibra to sell. Progress is slow there lol.
More soon.

Moving on - nipped everything up properly on the finished, just unpainted, seat frame and its spot on. Sod all movement, much lower.. not floor contact - brill.

It is hard to see any major difference in height but its ample for me, seats are and feel much better. Less movement as well. Cobra wanna be takin note i tell you.. load of bollocks the orginal lark was.
Proper chuffed today. Progress should speed along more so now i feel..
To sum up - a first little hint of my plans are starting to show on the car now - i title it 'like johns but... bit more... balls'

Nice work on the frames, good job.
How much did the rear springs cost? I want a set,Lol.

Rear springs look awsome - How low are they?
-
the springs are quite crazy arent they..?
I have a set of 4" (about 90mm lowering ) which is those fitted, pictured, and also a set of 5" (75-80mm ish)
Might mess with them a bit at a later date see which i prefer..
