    I did it a few years ago got two black ones cheap and had some plates welded to a nova subframe, doing the pair was awkward though as the passenger is fixed in the Vx

    might ditch the rear seats, fit buckets and harnesses

    2nd comfiest seats I've ever used in a car.

    Bear in mind you have no tilt adjustment and they are setup for a flat bottomed car.
    Plus they aren't "really" that light in the grand scheme of things.
