Re: dc progress
Hi Suzie do you still have the old metal front bumper? I'm looking for one to replace the caravelle bumper on my DC

Re: DC PROGRESS - BUSY WITH INTERIOR
i am slowly busy instaling the rear seats with the sub box and amps and other goodies, the sub box is partial frame for the seats and is steal reinforced aswell, box not done yet, just try to test fit every thing then it must come out for sealing and then the seats must go for upholstery and the dc for carpeting.

Re: DC PROGRESS - BUSY WITH INTERIOR
Hi beetlefanatic, i wanted to use the new ford ranger rear seat but i already bougth these seat a few years ago and had 4 of them so i am fitting all 4, the seats are the front seat from a Mazda 626 early 1990's, so currently it will have only 4 single seats but i am planing to make a speacial seat for the rear that fits between the 2 mazda seats.
