Backseats?

So I have seen a couple of pictures of first gens that have back seats, I would like to know how I could put seats in mine, and where I get the parts to do so. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OE on japanese and european models, so you gotta do some hunting. Basically remove the bins and it's a bolt in affair. Carpet is different too.

BTW, they are useless for anyone over 5 years of age.

I'm pretty new here so I'm sure someone can elaborate on what I have to say. But as far as I know it was a Japanese option only. So I guess you're looking towards Japan for parts to convert it.

Edit: Nevermind, there you go, lol They beat me to it.

There were several companies in the 80s that made aftermarket back seats, I had a Pacifica rear seat for quite a while. All SA/FB rear seats are only for decoration, they are completely useless for passengers over 36in in height.

...And fitting them to US SA's requires removal of structural bracing.

I have rear seats in my 2nd gen, and they are pretty much useless. Only advantage I see see is the extended hatch floor space. I've parted out 2 other 2nd gens with rear seats and sold them to 1st genners. I have yet to hear back how well they work.
