Was thinking recaros but thought they might get fooked with the wet? might just get some covers for em?

Really want to paint it as it reminds me of a gypo blue sierra i had! Anyone know how to paint gel coat or whatever it is??

there was some seats on e-bay last nite for a boat they looked like plastic bucket seats so would be ideal if you put some covers over them i think i searched bucket seats

little update if anyones interested

Had it in the water, can't believe how well it goes! not that i did over 4mph Gear selector linkage decided to fall off too but sorted it by hangin off the back of the fooker

Spent hours with marine T-cut has come up really well, also recarpeted it. Scabby bits on pic of inside are where the side panels were, have replaced those now

One pic of me giving some ol bitch a kiss

Still not finished but good fun all the same, still think i need some recaros for her
