OK Ldog, here are some photos of mine - it is a 75 Lbug, but the back seat area is much the same.

I got the seat back frames and head rest mounts out of a pair of front seats, and had them welded into the original back seat seat back frame.

I had also added pockets to the back seat 'door cards', so I had the back seat cushion area shortened (across the car) by about 25mm to make it easier to get it in and out.

I then had it trimmed with a lot more shape than original.

Here is the frame re-done and painted (to protect from rust).







Then trialled head rests.





Then had it trimmed.





Then fitted them in the car.





Really happy with it, my daughters are a bit pissed it wasn't done when they were small and riding in the back. It is there for my grandkids now. lol

Hi

I bought a Honda Integra one for .99 cents on eBay and with bit of fettling got it to fit OK.
