but anyway how about taking my back seats out and replacing them with one single centre bucket seat, so i having 2 buckets up front and one in back something a bit different!
do any of you think this would be possible?
i know its a legal requirement to have the front 2 seats on subframes but could a rear one just be bolted to the floor?

Just out of interest why do you only want one seat??

Plus you would then need to make a frame that would fix either side of the exhaust tunnel. then bolt the bucket to that.

Basically if you try mount it on the pan, then it'll be too high and it will be unstable. If you're going to cut the metal out to mount it to the floor, that will loose strength in the rear of the car and you'll need to weld in reinforcements.
And as already been said, you'll need to make custom frames to go over the exhaust tunnel!

Very good point actually.its hard enough getting in the back with normal seats in front let alone bucket seats
I had buckets in me car and a twin sub inclosure on back seats b4 I stripped it and it was pretty impossible to get into the back. Squeezing past the bucket seats was not easy.

you could probably just mount it in the middle of where the old one sat and locate a sunroof just about where the seat is, so the third passengers head can stick out of it!! lol.
