No bother Cloud, hope you enjoy it and remember to have a dodge down to the occasional meet in shields to keep the volvo end up.

Congratulations on buying the best V300 model ever built (in my very humble opinion) :D

Can't really get out to take some decent ones atm....I'll get some 2moz. I'll have the trim panels off by then aswell, should make it easier to rewire the back lights.

I need to work out how to fit bucket seats while im at it lol, what will i need? custom sub frame? or can i get away with a universal one?

I took the frames off of the volvo seats and bolted cross pieces to them, then just bolted buckets to the cross pieces

Sidemount or base????????
Sidemount stronger seats and easier to mount.

As for the sock-ya can use it as a hanky :wink:

Don't ditch the interior I may have a use for it if ya don't want it sm14

Sidemounts look cool, do they just bolt stright to the floor? then you mount the seat somehow sm14

Keeping the interior like, want it to be reversible incase i need it. :lol:

Take your two alloy sidemount brackets and sturdily locate to the ridge where the originals mate up to.
Bolt chairs to brackets and relax.
Easy,peasy, lemon squeezy.

Real men go the sidemount route :wink:

very true sven! - however, real men also wait until they get the cage they are planning before they start drilling and bolting too many holes ;)
