Puk you won't have an airbag module in yours so once the seats are out and the console it is just a wrestle with the handbrake lever, you can cut it down the centre as that is covered by the centre console....

Looks like you have done a great job with the welder.
316 should easy outlast the jeep. Much better than 304.

Put the sidesteps back on, then got ambitious and started the front coil spacer install on my own.

Got as far as getting the coils back in and couldn't do it. Needed some help from the neighbour. We had to compress the coils to get them in. (I won't tell you how) Job done though.

Put the cargo barrier back in, ready to head away after Easter (and my busiest three days of the year) is over.

finaly got the rear seat belts out snapped 3 torx head pieces trying to undo them with the KCI easy wrench. had to resort to the multi grips and a blow torch.

while trying to undo the seat belt bolt, the multi grips slipped, that little metal lip below the rear seat is quite sharp, luckily i hadnt had the carpet in at this point as it would have been red, my arm is quite sore. also broke my $800 watch

got the carpet and front seat belts back in. starting to look like a car again.

Nice welds there mate, stainless is very nice to weld especially if you have a good TIG....
