If you run out of ironing boards, I’ve got one in the shed you can have.

Nailed it mate, what you using on the bottom seat, I have used ply and foam instead of the springs before in both my brothers Ute and all the rear seats in the cubby hut, and I actually think they are more comfortable, sometimes a mixture of density foam is required to get the right feel

Oh Yeah, looks like I have missed a page, forget what I said, carry on, I think I might have to get checked for early onset of Altziemers, ( see I have even forgot how to spell it, I hope that’s right). Anyway sometimes it is good to forget about things, especially how much we have spent!

Good work mate, cab doors are a pain in the arse. Pull that inner handle off before the sparks start flying, i know its ratty but that pot metal melts VERY easy.
