2+2 conversion

I'm considering purchasing an FC off of a friend of mine, but the wife says we have to have a car with a back seat. Does anyone know what I would need to make the storage bins into a 2+2? I know it's hard to find any rear seat parts, but if anyone wants to turn their back seat into the storage, I'd definately be willing to trade. Also, we would like pictures of the rear seat area so if anyone has some, or knows where I can view them, that would be great. Can't seem to find any.

Thanks!

Yeah, it's for our daughter. I know there's not much room, but right now we only have a reg cab colorado, so any back seat is better.

well,you better hope your daughter is about three feet tall,and no more!..the back seats on a 2+2 are Small as Hell.They will hold a bag of Oranges Real nicely though.(or a Six pack of Cans!).I bought a Car with the rear seats in,and although the car actually looked NICE with them in there,I Never did put anyone back there.I tried sitting in one,Holy Crap!..I am 5'6 and it was Cramped as hell..You should get your Wife a Beater Honda,with a Rear Seat.after all, an RX7 IS and always Will be,a SPORTS Car!..(that is Why I like the bins so much.Only Two People can get into the Car..anymore than that,the car gets hard to Breathe in,Stuffy!..)..Cheers man.

I personally am interested in having a backseat in my 2 seater as weel, however people willing to give up their back seat parts are few and far between, considering how few of the FC's came with back seats. If you find someone who has a couple spare back seats hanging around though, let me know!

I have a set that i am considering putting in my t2... I have to use carseats and I can't quite figure out how the seatbelts work there is a giant box attached to the buckle itself... doesn't look like it will thread through the carseat...

Anyone here run a carseat in the back?

Lap belts are fine with the babyseats, they just have to be able to lock... I put my kids in the center lab belt with the carseat all the time.

Is it just me or do the back seats look like they could accomodate someone with a gigantic J-Lo butt?
