is it preety much imposible to get parts? i need the extra space for the kids. thanks

 

I hope you have small kids! I know people put the rear seats from FC's in their cars, you should search for that...

Im not being mean, i just dont personally know much about it, but i do know that there is a write up on the forum. A lot of the threads you've been starting could of been easily searched, too.

Keep on Keepin' on!

You'll probably never find a car seat/booster seat that could fit in the original rear seats.

 

^ probably not.

 

back seat looks like a booster seat

 

Thanks cshaw07. any companys out there still make it? ill check the FS thread

 

The original seat would not be difficult to duplicate. The bottom is literally a chunk of foam covered in upholstery. The seat back is also simply a rectangle covered in foam and upholstery. The hardware for the seat back that allows it to pivot up and down and latch into place is similiar to thatfound on countless other cars. With some basic skills anyone could make a rear seat, and have it covered at any decent upholstery shop.

 

Just a quick question on this subject....

Are all first gens in the usa sold without a back seat?
Because i live in europe and here it's the other way around and it's hard to find a first gen which has no back seat.
ANd if you find one, i hope you have (very) small kids because even my dog (german sheppard) really doesn't like it back there

In general, yes. There was only a very small number of US cars sold with back seats, including aftermarket seats installed by dealers. I got a seat from a junkyard in the U.K. when I had the car there.

Rhesus monkeys would be quite comfortable. (However my BMW E31 actually had less headroom in back.) One medium-size person can sit in the back seat with his feet on the other side, and ride without too much discomfort. I used to carry two small (5'2" -5"4") females in back at the same time, and they didn't complain too much. Of course the front seats must be moved forward, which makes more cramped up front.

My previous message was a bit misleading. The seat bottom is essentially a chunk of foam, but it is contoured to fit. I can take photos if anyone wants to make one.

Aside from passengers, the back seat was useful for keeping bags of groceries from spilling over and rolling around.

 

I'm not sure but I remember seeing something about it costing more in the JDM market for a strictly two seat car, so they stuffed in back seats. Also, I think to comply with US crash standards they added some bracing in this area for US cars. That combined with wanting to image it as more of a sporting model in America, made a factory 2 + 2 for the N/A market unfeasable.

 

thnx for explaining

 

here is a photo with a S3 rear sear in a s1, like previously said a car seat would be a tricky deal, but with a 5' wife my youngest who's 9 fits fine behind her

But you'll have to adress things such as the carpet the front seat belt having a cover etc etc

 

I came across an FB in the junkyard last year that had the back seats. I fit in there just fine!!

 

sorry but s3 means 3rd generation right?

 

s1 = 1979-1980
s2 = 1981-1983
s3 = 1984-1985
s4 = 1986-1988
s5 = 1989-1991
s6 = 1993-1995 (US)

I could be wrong on s4 to s6

 

i cant find one anywhere!!!!! if someone finds one ill pay a finders fee!!!!

 

What color? I know where there is a maroon one.

 

think you nailed it

 

lol what are you like 6'5"

 

Hahaa look how little this pic makes the front seat conpaired to him. You look like a monster!

 

I found a set here in Dallas junkyard, I already took them off with the seat belts and put them in van til I go back, I think they were gray off a 88. Hope thy are are still there, its been 3 weeks already

 

i have a 82 with grey and red strip interior.

 

I'm 5'11''. It's probably the camera angle making me look like the hulk!
