Lightweight drivers seat
I don't endorse this kind of behavior but when my upholstery guy was 2 months late this actually worked perfectly. Excellent fit and nice side bolsters.

Re: Lightweight drivers seat
You could probably bolt on some stock headrests...

Re: Lightweight drivers seat
But wait … wouldn’t that make our cars unsafe in a collision?
And, you don’t even have the padded dash to keep you alive!

The upside-down 5 gallon plastic bucket could save a few more ounces

Re: Lightweight drivers seat
For added safety and weight reduction, remove the steering wheel and clamp on a pair of Vise Grip Pliers. FWIW

Re: Lightweight drivers seat
Since im in the Baja, I might get my upholsterer to reproduce that theme for my entire interior. Should save me some big bucks if I can find a couple of those lawn chairs. And maybe a matching pool floaty for the package shelf. Now I just have to figure out how to keep the Tiki torch headlights lit up at hiway speeds.
Ive seen normal. It aint pretty.

You guys, and gals, can choose not to believe this, and I wouldn't blame you, but I swear to you, FWIW,...My very first car, was a '62 Volvo 544, that started, and ran, but... with a cracked windshield (directly up and down in front of the driver's position),...and NO seats, or steering wheel. I managed to drive it home, something between 5 and 10 miles, sitting on an upside-down plastic bucket, with Vise-Grips clamped to the steering column.dynaguy wrote: Thu Nov 04, 2021 8:31 am For added safety and weight reduction, remove the steering wheel and clamp on a pair of Vise Grip Pliers.

I only paid $125 for it....what a bargain in 1970...
Thanks for reviving this incredible memory for me....
