mercury grey minter

Since selling my rs turbo around 4 years ago i haven,t bothered with modding cars,had 2 kids and bought a house instead.Any way decided to buy a little transit connect for all the little(big) jobs that come with buying a new house.
This beauty:


After using it for a few months i decided to take advantage of my new double garage at the end of my garden.
Painted mirrors and handle and some wheels i got cheap

Spilt the headlamps open and painted the inners black

A set of focus st rims added




Got these cosworth leather recaros off ebay for £100


Then came the fun bit.A transit connect has 1 normal drivers seat and 1 fold down ironing board type passenger seat with no runners so some fabrication skill were needed.
Got hold of another drivers seat to use the runners and mounts off.
First to do was the easy drivers seat.Cut up the base and used the original runner

added angle iron to mount the seat to

Then cross sections



Test fitted.

All painted and bolted to seat.



Next the harder passenger seat.
Used original pssaenger base and added angle iron to mount runner on.


Used runner off spare drivers seat and mounted them together.



Top bars added to mount seat.


All painted


All finished and fitted:
