Rear Seat Delete Kit = £11.50

[ScottyBoy]

Well with all the runs ive been going on with my back seats out for more storage space and to save weight i thought id make a rear seat delete kit.

Got a Peice of 6mm MDF from B&Q made a template and cut the wood to shape. Covered it in a peice of Bass Box carpet and its in

The carpet is not the same coulor but as i got that free and the wood only cost me a fiver im not to bothered.

Its held down by 2 peices of 10mm dowl wrapped in carpet and the rear bolt.



I left the rear seat clip in soif needed it takes me around 2 minutes to put the rear seats back in with only 1 bolt to mess about with.

People say (including me) why put something back in. Well i took about 40-50 pounds off weight out and place 5 back in. Plus this looks much better IMO.

Cool

Due to having the Works Sparcos there is no point having back seats! I've been thinking about doing this since buying the car in December.

Any photos?

All these complaints about not wanting a GP becase it might get a bit loud and all that was needed is some nice pillows

Love your work tho, looks really good and not an expensive mod either, but one that is really worth while IMO.

It is vey worthwhile....

Dont get botherd to take my mates to the pub anymore not that i dent want to and it makes a great expensive van for my tiling tools

Plus weight saving = Fuel saving.

Looks class! R they Leather Sparcos?


Guess what I'm doing this weekend! Sorry for copying.

[ScottyBoy]

Yup leather Sparco's they are

Ne bother thats why i posted it up, if i could make a template for people to use i wood but its a bit big to make a template off

It was difficult to get the shape of the rear panels at first and it will be difficult for me to explain really .

Im gunna take it out this weekend and make an exact copy for one of my mates then take it to him on a run saves him measuring etc.

I've done a couple of boot builds in my time so hopefully it won't be too bad.

i've got the alcantra ones they are awesome.

Been planning on doing this for ages now, only thing thats stopped me is I want to use the section you use to bolt the seats in, to create a bracket to mount a spare wheel. My problem, finding an 18" Superleggera

[Hugo]

Made one yesterday and worked out around the same price!

I'll put pics up later on when i get home.

Here's the pics

Mine cost around the same price. £6 for 13ft x 3ft carpet and over a £5 for wood. I had carpet adhesive and screws in the garage. I went to a couple of places trying to find a good carpet match but I couldn't but I don't mind.

So here's the results.
