Sure, I'm just trying to see what kind of seats people use. It also helps if you have pics of the back thats been fabricated for seats even if the seats aren't in it. I'm just wondering what exactly needs to be done to the car to put back seats in and see if its something that i could consider for my 7.

I heard that there is a way to cut out some of the frame and remake it so that seats actually fit in. Is that true?

No problem making the seats fit. But you'll never make people fit.

I'm talking about refabricating some of the back end so people actually can fit. Probably not very easy if possible, but i'm just wondering

Who in their right mind would get in that backseat! My backseats are painfully small and I have a big car. Those 1st gen seats are half the size!

Hey.

I scanned some pics of my former car for you. It was a Japanese import to New Zealand, so it had the stock backseat. All the ones in NZ did.

The part of the seat that you actually sit on was surprisingly light. It was just a soft foam (or something light, anyway), and as you can see in the pictures, it was really thin where it went over the raised column for the driveshaft that runs through the centre of the car. It was just held in place by two little metal hooks at the front of the seat that fitted through two small holes in the metal frame underneath. It was rally simple to remove.

The backrest part of the seat had metal behind it, so it was much stronger. It folded down, and had a snib that held it in place. You would be able to see it on the left side of the third picture, except I used a metal bar to prop open my hatch, and it's behind that.
