collected my seats today, passenger one slide straight onto the runner and swivel plate ![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/veedubcaddymaster/IMAG1632.jpg) god, it makes the bucket seat look even uglier if thats possible haha ![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/veedubcaddymaster/IMAG1633.jpg) sadly the driver one is welded directly onto the runner grrrr so will take a little more effort to replace happy with them though

What kind of a knob welds seats in? My mate bought a van with some like that, and they were so high that even with a little steering wheel off a golf your knees hit the steering wheel.
I know a cheap upholster if you fancy getting the brown seats trimmed.
They all have the vents in the steel pressings in the roof, yours was probably just a normal panel van to start with.
Check the switch for the heater blower, they are often curse word, but it's equally likely to be the motor tbh. You do need the dash out, but honestly it's not that bad of a job, just the bolts holding the steering column are "security" ones so you usually need to chisel them off if you're the first one to do the job. You'll easily have it out in an hour.
Motors are about £35 - you need to get the heater box out of the van and on the deck, then split the box open along the seam to get at it.

What kind of a knob welds seats in? tell me about it ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) i've ordered a new motor, the 3 point belt plates and a new engine cover pad from Brickwerks. I looked under the dash and the wires are cut, another knob's touch i'm guessing ah that solves the vent/whats my van mystery then. I might take you up on the trimmer dude thanks. I've stumbled on a very local professional coach builder who does conversions in his spare time too so i'm meeting with him next week to see what I can get for my money. my dilemma is do I keep a full RnR bed with the 3 belts already installed (I have 3 kids but one is nearing the "I don't wanna do that" stage) or just go with two belts in the back and a full kitchen unit, ahhh I don't know!!

looking good! (I understand what you mean by brick yard, strange board...) but anywho, you're going the right way with this one!
