Cheap tools suck! How heavy are the seats mate? did you buy the rear bench all ready leather?
seats are light for what they are, its just abit dodgy fitting them on your own, i mean i did it but it would be alot easier and quicker with two people..
just buy the complete calibra interior, fronts fit straight in, bottom bench fits straight in, just need to take off the back leather and fit it onto the 60/40 split, which isnt hard at all tbh..
hope this helps

They did come out of a Calibra;) , so they are in deck lounge setting!lol
Did they come with the electric heat pads? Or are they just boggo standard seats?

you should change the mounting holes for the back seat belts so they come out the seat holes
lol, well as im using the calibra rear bottom bench it does stick out abit anyway so it looks like the seats right back...
but my mate was in it last and he puts it right down lol, and i just put mine down so it matched for when i was taking the pics....
and yer the front seats are heated..
Gangster lean is intentional. Fess up lol

Its not like people actually lean on the seat backs nowadays, just recline them back, out the way & hang off the steering wheel.
Interior looks good mate!
I beg to differ.
When I'm driving normally I have the drivers seat wound way back, I like to lay back, and chill out when I'm driving. Also, I feel a little safer knowing that theres a B Pillar to thr right of my head as opposed to a large Glass window in the case of an accident.
On the motorway for a long journey the seat tends to go back a little more without realising I would say, for comfort. Then the back pain sets in and it's back up straight lol
Yeah charvas etc just sit upright but with the backrest as good as horizontal. Why? It's funny when you see them sometimes having to look out of the rear side windows at junctions lol
i cant drive with the seat back, i prefer to sit upright so i feel close etc...
my mate has his seats soo far back in his cavalier 2.0 16v, just can see his head when he drives past with the bassssss going.... and hes about 6'1 lol...
I do that in my Cav, so much so the front seat touches the rear bench, its a comfort thing on my behalf, and as for the bass, its seldome anything other than Gwen Staffani or Johnny Cash gets played in my Car.

Looks good :thumb:
Noticed you've swapped the front seats side for side, as the lever to flip forward is in the centre of the car. why?
And because im in a bad mood, its not a leather interior as you only fitted the seats! So its Leather seats!
