Seat time.

Car is coming with a Bride recliner seat. Although its mint condition and looks good, id rather have a fixed back seat. Put up on Driftworks that I was looking for a swap preffereably but selling it. Got a few hits straight after I put it up and have a queue of people wanting it when it lands.

So I couldnt help but look for a replacement for it, trusty old ebay came up with a Bride Vios in good nick - just what I was after! A few emails later id secured the seat outside of ebay for the same price as im selling the recliner, breaking even baby! Result. So im happy with that, heres some pics, theyre shit because theyre off the auction (not that my iphone pics are any better), but i'll upload some more when its delivered.


Paperwork.

So I got the paperwork for my car through from Japan recently.

The de-registration documents to prove to the DVLA that the cars legit and hasnt been stolen or anything. A bill of lading which I use to pay for the shipping and release the car from customs with. Then theres the receipt from japaneseusedcars which I show to the customs agents who then decide how much to buttfu... i mean tax me.

Cool bit of history about the car, it was first registered and has spent its whole life in Nagoya, Japan. The previous owner was "Kids Heart, Nagoya" who from what I can tell sell used parts and cars! I'd heard of Kids Heart before so was quite suprised to see the name on the de-registration form. They made the only official "sil80's", a run of 500 limited edition for Nissan. Pretty cool my car came from there, I like stuff like that.
