| Hi Rob, Ive Fitted The Rear Of The Van Out With A Set Of Cavalier Rear Bench Seats And Had Them Covered By Cobra To Match The Sidewinder Front Seats, And Door Cards, At The Back Of The Van I Have Installed Some Kenwood Sounds And Dressed It With Grey Acoustic Cloth, The Headlining Is From An Lxi Estate, And The Roof I Grafted In A Gte Full Electric Sunroof That Fits A Peach, But It Took A Day Just To Weld It In Place, Being Carful Not To Buckle The Roof From Appliying Too Much Heat, Its Been Fun And Its Good To Reep The Benefits, | |

| yeah i bet it is mate.
i really can wait to get mine back and finished i've decided not to fit the rear seat just going to keep the front two but unsure what seats to use. im planning to line the rear out to make the inside as smooth as the outside. fully carpeted etc | |
