    Now sold!!!! 120 LC 4 2003, 190k.

    My 140K mile driver's seat base it getting a bit tired: compared to the passenger seat it's very soft. Has anyone replaced theirs? I've done a quick google search, with little success. I'm guessing it's a purchaseable item from toyota though. Failing that, are seat foams 'handed' l/r? is a...

    ASFIR protection fitted, no excuses anymore

    God knows how long they're been in the shed, but fitted these on Sunday... I guess I'll have to take it out eventually. They came vis crispin, and were reasonably easy to fit: but I had access to a pit, and a mate who's spent 20 plus years welding / fabbing / messing about with cars!
