We just finished this modification, and it was relatively easy.<br>
<br>
We just bent over the inside section of track with a pair of visegrips
(kinda nasty, but that way we wouldn't have the sparks from
cutting/grinding), layed on the salvaged swivel bases, and used a mig
under a big sheet of fire retardant fabric. We cut out the front sheet
metal (careful to not remove the bracing!) so we have a map pocket under
the seats now. We used some of that plastic u channel (like around the
door pillar) to get rid of the nasty metal edge, and glued a block of 1x3
to the back of the compartment so the maps wouldn't run into the
battery.<br>
<br>
We then cut the battery box covers in half, and sectioned them and tacked
them back together. They work dandy.&nbsp; A little snip snip of the
carpet, a tuck here and there, reglue of the carpet on the wheelwell...
and tada!<br>
<br>
I was just dissapointed the drivers seat didn't swivel all the way
around.&lt;sigh&gt;&nbsp; In fact, if I would have been thinking, I don't
think I would have even installed the drivers side. Perhaps a removable
steering wheel? ; )<br>
