      Alright, the brackets are not painted but since Denis wanted too see em that much i decided to take pics anyway.

      Not hard to do, basically remove the brackets (without the sliders) from the stock seats (this WILL require you to do some cutting of the brackets on the stock seats so forget about putting your stock seats back in the car if you do this) The only way you can put back the stock seats is to weld them in place so they wont move.

      Anyways back on track, I bought some square tubing and bolts, nuts. The thing was patience, measuring and fitting, measuring again and more fitting, the 1st seat took me a good 3 hours, the 2nd, 45 minutes.

      To put it as simple as i can, cut off the stock brackets and weld square tubing onto them, and bolt the seats to the square tubing.







      I'm probably going to recover them with carpet later on, but ill paint them this weekend.

      That is correct, using the aftermarket sliders, the seat does move forward and back

      it wouldnt take much to put the stock seats back in. just hit the welds with a grinder and take off the aftermarket seats and polish the weld spots out and use a can of krylon black spraypaint and youre good to go.

      seats look sweet man, only things that bother me are the logos on the seats and the brackets....i would have just went all custom so you could have more area to weld down, doesnt seem too safe with just those few spots

      Ohh there is no danger, each seat is welded at 8 different spots and each weld is almost 1 inch in length more then plenty strong enuf
