[ja3mie]

ive stripped the rear in mine it didnt take long, about an hour to strip it alone i then built a false floor and here are the results#

 

[Sant.]

I was wondering about this actually, do you have to declare it as a modification to insurance, as the seats aren't supposed to be removable?

 

[AARON77]

yeah yo do have to declare it
put my insurance up by 100 quid but i think its worth it??????

 

[Prawn]

that's not stripped! You've just taken the seats out man!

This is more like it:

Although I've removed the beer keg, and more trim since

it'll never lose the dash.

having been in one that's got no dash, it's just horrid.

Plus, legally, to be used in germany, you have to have a dash and door cards for the fear of sharp edges. without they can ban you from entering the Ring!

I will be making up some custom door cards though, retaining the 4'' strip at the top, and replacing everything below that with Carbon sheet

Dash will come out to be ligthened and wiring cut down at some point, but for now, it's staying.

I have to drive this badboy 600 miles to the ring!" need to keep some comforts.

Still LOADS of brackets and clips and things in the rear to strip out though, going to attack it one day, then paint all the exposed metal when I'm done

lol! had a quick (i mean quick lol) look at the rear seats, i pulled the base forward so i guess i push the 2 metal prongs in to get the base of? but cant see how the rear backs come out? and to add some fun to it.. only one sides folding down! think the catch to fold it down is broke on passengers side! lol

On the bottom outside corners theres a retaining catch holding the bracket that is attached to the seat,
You have to push it open with a screwdriver to release the seat
