Something from down under in New Zealand.
I had 2 seats and chubby box in my 1990 110 200Tdi Hardtop. Then we had a child so I took the chubby box out and put the middle seat back in the front, and all things were okay. Then we had another child..... No way was I selling my Defender. Brought in UK, been to Norway/Morocco/Spain/Ireland in it then shipped it back to NZ. So I had a beer and had a think. Sell the child, sell the Defender.??? No sale of the Defender...or the child. So some modifications had to be made, so I removed the side lockers I had made years ago, bought some new seats, some alu sheets, a lot of rivets, and got to work.

Looks very professional job , good solution to a fairly common problem.

PS hope you removed the stud and wingnut ?

Aeroplane seats?

That looks good. Would an adult fit comfortably (leg room etc)?

haha. No not aircraft seats, just some asian bus seats with Kiwi modifications, and yes the bolt and wing nut removed. Had to find new home for my Hi-Lift cause those bolts held it against the 'wall'. Leg room forward is good, but eye height to my side windows bit bad. Then again I had to photograph new LR Defender (2012) for work and my seats were better...but I drive so dont care. my toy so never in the back...
