not massively - I\'ve used steelbar to match the holes in the seats to the holes in the 1st gen runners, and they are bolted together at the mo, but look the nuts, and the positioning is good - no snagging on the door or rubbing sholders with the passenger. Less work than I\'d anticipated - although there will be NO rear seat in this puppy...

I have a pair of 1st gen seats here if you want them. They need some TLC and a retrim but are a good start. You would need to pick them up though.

Although I would say get a pair of buckets in there and leave the interior bare. That thing is going to be a flying machine :D

I was tempted to go all buckety, but I like that the car is still all mazda - by the end of it, the only bits that shouldn\'t be (other than perishables like suspension and brakes) will be the ICE, wheels and carpet!  Even the paint is a current MX-5 paint!
