Finally i assembled the tires, safely with a rope until the rings were pressed on by the tires, send them to a tire shop for weight balance and installed them on the car. The result was better than i expected... I'll take more photos the next days...

Thank you my friend. My profession is oenologist or winemaker. Don't know exactly what is the term for this in your country. I don't own a winery. I just know to make wines and to taste them of course 😜 😜. In Previous post you had question me where do i live in Greece. I live in Corinthia. If you search the map you will find where it is. Thank you for your words...
 
Missed the visits at @Shown's shop (not that far away from my place), his great dry wine too!...
It seems that he's got a really skilled young man there to help (2nd pic)...
My brother (40, 60 & 120-Series addict) could inspect the detail of the work done there (3rd pic)...

Sure! :cheers:

PS. Hoping that you may think seriously about introducing some good dry wine testing at your workshop classes... ;)
 
One of the last things i was searching the last months were the seats. I wanted a 3 seater solution so i was searching for a single cab pickup seat. As i was searching i saw a photo from the interior of a 2nd gen Corolla verso and the middle row of seats were very close to what i wanted. Luckily one relative of mine have this car so i only needed to go and measure. The width was perfect so i decided to search for them. After some searching i found these used leather seats in perfect condition and bought them. The only thing i hadn't calculated right was the height of the seat base. For the moment i was disappointed and i was thinking about finding another solution... But the seats were very good so i decided to do anything needed to make them fit...

Corolla Verso?
What a great (Toyota) solution , congrats mate!

PS. May I guess this is from a first generation vehicle (E120), sold in Europe (2001-2004)?
