Transporting an Interior

Post Wed Feb 16, 2005 12:05 pm

Silly question here, does any know if i could fit an E30 interior(2 front seats and rear bench into mine without removing my passenger seat, i will take out my rear bench. I might me picking one up in the next day or two and it doesn't look likely i can find another car to use.

Cheers

Scott has fitted an interior into his car, but removed his rear bench and his passenger seat. It's only 4 bolts for the ffront seat... nothing too hard!

yep it'll fit in a 2dr with the front seat still there. the only thing i did was to unclip the rear bench (no bolts) so i could clip the new one straight in.

this was including carpets and door cars by the way!

the m-tech 2 kit however refused to also go in so i had to go back the next day

how far have you got to go to collect it then?

Nooooooooo, i wasn't really interested in buying those, just a bit curious about them. Something looked well dodgy about them, plus i don't want something thats going to need reparing. They sold for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£343 in the end!

You can fit an entire interior in even without removing your rear bench. I know; I've done it!

hang on there charlie!!!!! Ive also fitted a complete interior into my car without removing ANYTHING! Giles, when you saw me, i was picking up another interior aswell and needed the space for your alloys so i had to remove bits. However, you can fit a complete interior into an e30 without removing anything. I have done this twice already and its easy job.

Kedge, u need some instructions?

I fitted a complete sport interior into mine to without removing anything, just be careful with the metal runners they like to damage things.

I reckon i'll take the back seat out, then put the new one in when i pick it up, same with the passenger seat, in fact i mite put the drivers seat in and put my old seat in the back, so i can feel the lovely supple leather feeling :bling:

Should be pickin it up tomorrow, just got to confirm everything tonight.

So there should be i nice Recaro cloth interior avaliable soon!

Cheers for the advice guys!
