Went to Wrench A Part and found these back seats from a 2000 Camaro. I,ve just got then sitting in now but it won’t be much trouble to mount permanently. Best of all they were $36.00 but had to drive 65 miles to get them.
The seats look good.
Nice thinking outside the box. Did you know they would work, or did you just “wing it” for the fit?
Did your car have seats before?
How are you going to attach them to the rest of the car?
I take it you’re going to finish the rest of the interior in black?

If you move the bottom of the seat back forward a few inches to line up with the bases, you’d have something really great. If they are installed exactly like the picture, you and your passenger are going to suffer baaaaad back problems.
Man! I wish I had seats like that! I posted “Doinger Upholstery” a few months ago. Flat seats covered with leather from an elderly but real nice old leather couch. BEAUTIFUL SEATS!
Randy in Chandler Arizona, great B-bopp'in teritory. I must have the only one in the country made by Rich Industries in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, on a 1986 Ford Cortina (english ford escort) It's a 1600cc straight four cylinder front engne, 4 speed, changed from right side driver to left side with several shafts and u-joints. BEBOP because I once had an MGB with license plate MG-BEPOP in Virginia.
Yes I can tell that would cause back problems. The seats are just laying there, not mounted. I fooled with then a couple hours today and the back of the cushion part is going under the bottom of the back. Had to make some mounting brackets. They aren’t quite right but close enough I know how to make another set now that will work, it’s trial and error. It will be several days before I can work on it some more but I’ll post picture when finished
Looks good, Leo. Looks real good.????

The seats look great!
Makes me think of starting to look around, see if maybe I could find some, too.
Good Work!Amor Conquista Todo
Leo : Great job on seats. Looks like they were shortened about 3″. How is the back and seats held in position ? Any chance of getting pictures of support brackets? How was rear of seat back covered?Again Great job.Over the years I have seen many postings from those attempting to change/modify/improve their seats. This morning I was browsing for nothing in particular for my Classic Mini and came across these which may work for some:
Good find, Royal. They have lots of goodies, even roll cages.
They are in Great Britain so the prices would neat to be figured for dollar against the pound. Last time I figured it was about $1.55 to 1 pound. Also I wonder about the shipping costs.

I’ve been contemplating wading into these waters. I’ll probably wait until after VA Beach. I do need something better than the padded box top that’s been in there since day one. I need something to minimize lateral sliding during the hillclimbs. I can see more fiberglass work and some welding in my future..
