Yeeah I only got them last Saturday. £50 for 2 mint escort rst ones :D

I've just bolted some box section to the bottom, then welded the rail to that. The rail closest the outside of the car is the bitch, the other one just bolts straight to the bottom of the seat.

But now the box section is wedged against the floor :( so it won't really move.

Need to set a bit of time aside to do them, was a bit of a rushed jib.

Thanks Bryan

yeah engine looks to be in great nick, it was going to have been though came out of Daz's Ek 8) Has 174,000 miles on it aswell :lol:

Im going to fit the one from the D15 L3 box, but might not get it fitted for a while as i want to get an uprated clutch ideally but there expensive and the clutch in it has only 100miles at the very most probably more like 60. but its only designed for 90 bhp so not sure how long it would last in the z6 :|
