How's that going? The E36 seats are gonna be a pretty tight fit aren't they? Much modification needed to the subframes? :cool:

really wired mate, tight they are but im getting their.

Had result though the two rear bolts are straight fit although the sub frame is wider, Their is another hole drilled through the car with a plastic scrw in place thats out and a bolt holding the seat is in.

The front has been a pain in the ass, had to drill 2 hole's in the front floor plan, I have checke dwith my local gargae and aslong as the bolts have big enough washers etc it will not be a MOt prob either. the drivers seat is in all but 1 bolt and the poassengers in all but the front bolts, they look great. here is a pic:

Only the front seats are interchangeable with other 2 door models of the e30 range (and obviously e36's :D )

The rears dont fit cause of the doorcards.
