Figured I would share how to make your 4dr seats fold forward in the same way 2dr seats do. This is great for when you find a mint set of sedan seats and want to put them in your coupe/vert.
First take the plastic covers off the side sand look for the punched notch in the frame rails. They are on both sides of the seat.
You need to remove these indents. It's hardened steel, so a normal high speed steel or cobalt drill won't do it. Use a grinding stone or carbide in a rotary tool of some sort. I used an air die grinder with a carbide burr. Don't try to remove it completely or you leave the chance it may hang up later. Instead go most of the way through like so...
Then use a hammer and punch to break it out. This will leave it smooth on the inside for free movement.
Now you can get in the back of your coupe with sedan seats...
