ive heard that you can change drives to passenger seat, and swap the seat belt holder to other side, but dont no for sure. 4 door cars also have the seat belt mount on the seats but 2 door cars have them on the runner at base of B pillar.
Just look on other side of seat to see if things can be change, or borrow a seat of another zoner inyour area if your lucky.

If it's just for a few days then go for it. Like Sanchez says, youl should be able to swap the seat belt holders and all seats are interchangeable although you'll struggle with people getting int he back if you have a 2 door car with 4 door seats.
