Seats wanted.

It's a long shot but stranger things have happened!
Has anyone got a pair of seats that need a good home? As cheap as possible! With a toddler and partner soaking up all my pennies, cheap is good! The seats are the main reason why my latest project has hit the buffers! I bought a (cheap) set of bucket recliners but they were too wide!
I've even thought about makinga bench seat sort of arrangement but the car they are to go in has a longish tub so it would look a bit naff.
I've considered the bin bag and expanding foam method and thats the way I'll go if no-one has any better suggestions!
Tatty fibreglass ones would be nice!!
Cheers in advance!

Minibus seats are the right width and you can pick up a good pair with high backs for about £25. Just cut the legs off. They have steel frames making them relatively easy to fit.

I tried some out of a Honda Acty/Bedford Rascal and they were too wide!
I should explain that the car is not a Se7eny type!

How narrow do you need them?
Minibus seats are 16" wide. My backside wouldn't fit in anything narrower.

ive got a pair of old corbeu buckets you can have. they are a bit shoddy and i cut the rails off the bottom of one of em. youd have to pick em up from barnsley though.

Whoops! Sorry for not replying folks but Wasa has sorted me out and I forgot to pop back in here to tell folks!!
The Corbeu are too wide anyway!
Cheers folks.
