Thumbs up Can you put rear seats in a vert? ,why yes you can... pics inside!

im sure most normal individuals have pondered the idea of having rear seats in a convertible rx7.,

im sure most have thought theres no room, or theres too much bracing in the way, or where would the top go when u put it down?

none of that matters! they do fit!.... if you take a few hours with a grinder! to the frame! haha.

my dad purchased this parts car vert to part out, and I couldn't belive what the previous owner had done., I had to share!

Just be careful not to cut the **** out yourself sitting in the seats!, or to cut the wiring harness! hah

more bracing cut out!, note there are threaded bolt holes where the lower brackets for the upright go! they must use the same floor pan for both models, then add to it for the vert

even the center has threaded holes for the seat belts, but the outside does not.

A vert doesn't have that depressed section in the back for rear seats. It looks like they cut the vert bracing out and welded in a coupe section of the body there.

That's an amazing amount of damage for such a minimal gain.

I suppose if you had a legless, headless kid, you could slot the torso in those seats and he'd fit.
Probably still hate it though.

I too would like to see a stripped down vert.

When I had my 1st gen and coupe 2nd gen, and gutted them, it felt like I achieved SO much more room.

Filled it with deep thought and serene contemplation, a feng-shui'd Holmsian mind palace.
And drugs, obviously.

I'm pretty sure people just fill the car with road noise after removing the interior. You know, because modded rotaries aren't loud enough with a full interior.
