Hmm, I installed some good looking no-name-brand seats into my buggy, and also - What a mission!! :x

But for the Ghia, I was looking for sporty seats, but that can fold forwards for access to the rear seat where only an anorexic midget would fit :roll: , but you never know, maybe one day an anorexic midget will come along, so when the Porsche seats became available, I snaffled them. They are cool seats, but they weigh, like, ...er... lots... so I thought I'd put a turbo motor in :mrgreen: to make up for the increased weight. :drunks:
