Finally had ago at fitting the recaro seats iv had sat in the garage. Was a bit of a nightmare but i managed to get one in. Shame it was the passenger side so i dont get to feel the benefits :lol:

Also got a bigger fan for the radiator. I dont think it will cure the over heating problem but should help a bit.

The fan can't be any worse bud. Looks quite a bit bigger.

Seat looks tidy! :thumbup: at least the missus can travel in a bit more comfort.

Not sure any SJ was ever or should ever have wood panelling.

Does the job though bud. You should do the rest of the dash to match, dare ya!
