Hi guys is it possible to fit? I know how im going to do the fronts just wondering if there is enough room in the back for the rears il weld any brackets required to make them fit they fit in a corsa b in the back so hopefully be fine just wondered if anyone has done similar it should make it nice and comfy. Also im going to make my own door cards to match smile

I did this to my old white GTE about 15yrs ago. I hand stitched the 60/40 split bench together to make a single piece then fitted the leather and the foam to the original Mk1 metal frame , this then fits straight in to the car without having to cut / weld anything , hope this helps
