here we go...
must say, i felt a little bad as i walked back in chuckling to myself  still, it works fine, is comfortable and most importantly, leaves space to
get my hands round the wheel.

Bin bag and foam is a good cheap option, but doesn't suit every car

a more long term solution will just be to glue some stiff foam in. I have no space for seats (lanky bastard!) and cant bear the unnecessary weight
anyway.

Confused but excited.

I got a pair of high back minibus seats for £25. Steel frame so easy to fit and they are 16" wide. Job done.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

make some custom ones moulded to your back by filling a bin bag with expanding foam. no sure whay you would use as the cover.

Front Seats - I can measure a seat pad and back if you want - it will be the Deluxe ones...!
IIRC it was £85 for a complete set for the front (thats 3 lots..!)
Cheers

I have a middle seat pad and back in my chassis at the moment they fit quite well as I have an offset capri axle. The passenger side could take a
standard seat base. Try getting some from a scrappie first before you buy new ones! Most Land Rover people will have a few spares:-)

I have some fiat 126 seats that I will try and see if they drop in the car this evening.
I'm not using them but they are tiny!
I'm using 2 part foam and bags, did the drivers one the other night and it worked a treat, very comfortable and extra light!!!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
