Making a rear seat?

My wifes car took a dump on us and now we are stuck with only my 7 to tote around the two of us and my 1yo son. It will be a while before we can fix the car, (about 2-3 grand for a tranny?!?!?) so in the meantime I am looking for a quick fix on how to get a rear seat into my rx7.
I am on a tight budget, so I was wondering if anyone has made one from a different cars seat, or what they used or anything really.

HELP ME!!!!!

The stock back seat is very simple. the bottom is a big chunk of shaped foam and the back is simply a padded rectangle which hinges on pins at the bottom. Anybody with a few handicraft skills could make one. You could possibly use brackets and hardware from another car. The chassis should already have bolt holes for the stock brackets. Someone has also stated a 240sx seat could be adapted for use. However if you have a baby why not mount a child car seat instead as it would probably be safer and easier.
