Seat fitting is a PITA

Following, love the C5 content (former FRC owner here).

I have a weird vision of picking up a base model, removing the hatch cover entirely, installing a clear polycarbonate panel vertically where the hatch cover meets the halo hoop, and using the rear cargo area like a pickup bed.

LOL. That would be stupid easy to do on this car. Have you watched the FDF c6? They look to be rebuilding the rear end from scratch. I’ve actually thought about doing some mods back there. Maybe drill some big holes in the tub in back to allow air out. Right now it is a huge air brake. Some people cut out the center storage area and use it to mount diff and tranny coolers. Stick fans on them to draw air out. I’m just cautious where I’m dumping air as I know you want low pressure under the car.

I spent most of Sunday putting the driver’s seat in, sitting, pulling it out, making adjustments to mounts and belts, rinse and repeat. Getting a fixed seat set up correctly is a PITA. The coupe made it so much easier though. I could pull the seat out the top and rest it on the windshield while I adjusted things rather than have to try and fish it in and out of the door at least. I’ll post some pics once it is final, but I have a couple bolts to order.
