I've got an '89 TurboII (nearly 2 weeks now and really enjoying it) - I'm never gonna use those rear seats and I heard some models came with storage instead.

Is it a straight swap, if so, what are they like (are they big enough for a helmet?) and what happens to stop luggage form the boot (trunk) joing me up front?

Cheers

 

YEs you just need to grab all the parts to do it
i did it in my car
to keeps stuff from hitting you, you need to use the cargo straps and drive safe

 

Thanks - I'll have a hunt for some.

Think the Targa looks pretty cool btw.

 

yah its neat, but it has more problems than id like

what color bins carpet do you need i might be able to hook you up
i have the bin frame
and blue carpet/bins

 

I suppose I'd want black ones although I've no idea what they look like!

Cheers

 

I've seen a thread with someone wanting to swap storage buckets for seats and now this, lol.

 

I think I'd rather have the seats... I go shopping with my friends a lot (meaning more than one friend ) and having the seats there would mean the groceries wouldn't slide around as much... also, you can have a rear strut bar without losing as much cargo space (at least when the seat is up).

oh yeah, and people can sit in the seats :p

 

what color is yout interior?

 

Fixed.

Seriously, though, storage boxes save some weight, probably, but not much room. They are, however, conveniently placed and can more safely store something than just tossing it in the trunk.

And I have had people in my back seat, though no one over 5'3" yet.

 

My friends ARE midgets

 

Rather progressive for an Alabama man, don't you think? :p

 

i hope so because nobody other than midgets or kids up to 4 years old can sit in those seats hehe ... my girlfriend sat there once when we were driving one of her friend home... it was an interesting drive hehe

 

I've fit four people in my 2+2.

I'm 6'8, my girlfriend is 5'6", one of my friends is 5'9" and the other is 5'11".

My girlfriend drove with the 5'11" friend behind her, the 5'9" guy sat behind me, and I sat in front with my head sticking out the sunroof.

 

kEEP THE SEATS MAN, ARE YOU CARAZY? sEATS ARE VERY RARE AND IF YOURS CAME THAT WATY THAT IS EVEN MORE RARE. i HAVE SEATS IN MY T2 AND EVEN THOUGH I DONT USE THEM THEY STILL ARE COOL.

 

my 91 coupe didnt come with them and i was about to become a father and didnt wana get rid of my car so i installed some back seats lol . but now i bought another car and still kept my back seats in there.

 

I hope you die.

 

eh, if they are so rare, anybody wants a set of leather rear seats ? lol

 

I've got storage buckets and wouldn't mind a straight up trade for seats.... Think it's possible to cut the seat in half, reupholster it, and just have one seat in the rear, like a rumble seat? My battery's kinda mounted behind me so I can't fit a full rear seat, and since I'm so tall noone could sit behind me anyhow... Even if it doesn't work I'll sell you my storage bins. I don't have the carpet though; it was too ratty to keep. Plus I don't know if it's a straight bolt-in affair. The bins mount to the floor with several bolts which I don't know if they'd be there in your chassis.

 

All you need to put the storage bins in any FC is the bins, the rear carpet, and the black supports that the bins bolt too. My car didn't have anything in the back, but I just swapped in storage bins a few weeks ago. Very easy and straight forward.

 

Well that answers that question. There's a little light that goes in the bins too and I have the wires for that, but if you wanted to wire it up you'd have to add wiring since it goes through the harness and I'm not ready to weed it out of my taped-up wiring yet.
