Ok let me rephrase that,
It will be gun gummed until the weather is nice and warm and I don't mind laying under it, or until the mot is due, whichever is first :laugh: haha

Today Dieter and i did fit a D&G tuning 4.16 Transfer Box under the Jimny. 
Tuesday we will change front and rear bearings, and fit a suspension guard kit.

I ditched all the Ignis seat frames and modified and fitted the seats to the Jimny frames. I cut my standard Jimny bar, tapped the inside of each end and used threaded bar and lock nuts to make the longer. (Not sure if later Jimny seats use the same spline design at the Ignis?)
You can leave the inside rails standard. The outer rail rear mounting tab needs trimming shorter and a new hole drilling closer to the rail.
The outer rail front tab needs lengthening slightly so I fabbed some steel, modified the bracket and welded the extensions on.
The Recaro seat bottoms and backs bolt directly to the standard Jimny seat frames.
Finally trimmed all the plastic covers to fit.
Only thing left to look at is modifying the arm rests on the door cards to clear the wider bolsters.
Well chuffed with them though! :woohoo:

Where from?how much?and whats involved in fitting?
You will need some sub-frames to fit the bucket seats on. I just happen to have some front seats for sale if your interested :whistle:
They are on eBay. The number is 271292921854.
Just bagged myself some ignis recaros for just £120. Thanks for the idea.
I've had a fiddle with my Recaros tonight, it looks as if the only part to modify is the rear seat back adjuster bar as the Ignis bar is splined and the Jimny bar has tabs on to operate the adjuster and it seems about 40mm too short so I will need to lengthen them. Thank god I got my mig welder back!
