    Possibility of moving the seat up more than where it stops at?

    as the title states, kinda curious to know if its possible to move the drivers seat up past more than where it stops it at

    is it possible or is there mods to be done?

    Yes, you'll need to make brackets to move the mounting points forward. I have had to do the exact opposite for me to fit into my e30s.

        The only problem I see is being able to get to the front nuts to tighten them up. You best bet might be to just drill new holes through the floor and use a bolt and nut on the bottom. Or weld new nuts to the bottom of the chassis. If you do, make sure to plug up the original holes some how. A plastic plug and some sealant should do the trick.

            Seat tracks do vary and this is from a cabrio which I know has less movement than hardtops, but you can see the front and rear stops which are both held in with screws...or you can just cut them shorter in place.
