After 47years of use the front seats were completely stuffed especially the seatbacks were all broken.
So we wanted to replace them but with a seat with a high backrest
Got a set of Kia picanto front seats for cheap.
Only problem is they are a little too wide to fit inbetween the heaterchannel and the pan tunnel

By using the C. A. D method I made a template loosely based on the Corbeau seatframes where it attaches to pre existing holes in the original seat rails

ToyIng with the idea of converting this back to a Baja/open top or closed top /as i dont feel comfortable with the idea of 2 kids on the back'seat with no real form of protection aeound or above them whatsoever
10years later and the youngest all grown up we're back to the same problem
