Nice to meet you too mate
Didn't realise who you where till i clocked the imoc t-shirt 
Got the tow eye from the tegiwa imports stand, they had a fair few colours, i thought it was a bit of a bargain for £25! but thats probably just me.

yip bargin i was looking at them and on ebay they go from £30-60!!!

Just checked their site out and they are £30 from them normally so saved £5. It does actually fit on the IS and looks pretty good, although i would scrape it on our drive so will probably save it for the buggy

*** Update ***
Well got up to TGT yesterday and the plan was to start the wiring for the passenger compartment. However when i got there i changed my mind and decided to just get the drivers seat fitted. Was a bit of a work up as i had to keep roughly putting the rails in and checking they where going to work then move them etc.
Anyway, after a little while i got the new seat bars welded to the chassis....

There are some metal bars under the seat that run front to back and these just simple weld to the above bars. I was going to do the seat adjustable but im not tall and i have the seat fully back so didn't think it would be worth having it move.
Then got the seat tacked into place.....

Then started to look at the wiring, got the fuse and relay box fitted to the front and started by identifying what wires where what from the ignition/indicator stalk connectors.

James has also ordered up the sexy braided fuel line and AN6 earls fitting that im using for the fuel system. Came to £200 with a large discount as well These things aint cheap but should look awsome when thats all done, hopefully next few weeks he should have that finished.
Had a chat with James and we have agreed that he will do a couple more jobs and i will be moving the Buggy to my work's workshop. He will be finishing off the fuel system, welding the rear coilover mounts and wire up the engine to start. We where in agreement from the start that i would get him to do all the jobs that i couldn't do and i would do what i could to keep the costs down. Its almost at the point where i can do the majority of parts myself, and having it closer to home means i can work on it a LOT more. Its currently a 40 mile journey to TGT and i can only work on the buggy every other saturday. Moving it means i will be able to do before work/lunch break/saturday/sunday and bank holidays
Won't be for a few months yet but when it moves expect the progress to pick up a little. The Buggy will then go back to TGT for the final setup/tweaks/mapping just before the IVA test.James has been a complete legend with regards to this project and i can't thank him enough.
