E30 rear seat delete panel build

[MaksV]

just curious but why not use cell material and cover with carpet - less weight adn gives a similar smooth look. Info is here:

That looks like shit, it wouldn't look much better with carpet over it, either. I'm going for it looking like this:

Willing to make another one for me? Any pics?

It has been a while not sure if I even have the patterns. I have my E30M I could pattern off of though. Mine looked more like the one above, very simple and served its purpose. Shoot me an email.

Finished making and wrapping the panels today, I ended up using 1/4" masonite and standard subwoofer carpet, using 3M spray adhesive. They came out really good, I might refine and make them again another time, but I was kind of on a time crunch with these. Hoping to get the car back from exhaust work mid-day tomorrow and get them fitted!

I had the exact same idea. I have no reason for a rear seat, even though they're not insanely heavy. I prefer to have a shelf or a flat surface to place shit on.

I think I might try and make a mat to put down on top of mine. Kinda like a removable trunk carpet. But different.

I like it!

Looking good.

I'll get some pics of it in the car soon, it still needs a little fine-tuning here and there, but it works well and looks good in the car.

I like the work Joshzilla. Just seems silly not to throw a regular black vinyl rear seat in there for now or something. Didn't know rear seats were so hard to come by, I've thrown a few away.

I've given a a couple away and now I need some. :(


Project came out well Josh. Will like to see it in the car.

Looks good! But would you really call ~20 days a time crunch

[amcp]

how did you cover the wheel well bumps?

Very nice. I'd love to do this to a 'vert.

Interested to see how it looks in the car. I've thought about this too as a solution to mismatched seats but I've been scared it would look too fuh raze.
