Default Rear seat delete. DIY.
Hi guys, decided to remove my back seats as i've never used them except for
storing luggage on.Now bags are stored more safely and not on display! It needed to be fully removable (comes out in about 15mins) without leaving any holes so this is what I came up with. Made from aluminium tread plate so not too heavy.

Regards Andy.

Very neat.

While we're here, can somebody tell me how that centre hinge unit for the rear seats is attached - welded, screws?

With that big box, my mind immediately went to 'mid-engined 964'...

c'est la vie.

Very well finished but that handle is really-really bad... I would change it for another one more flush and will look fine...
You can put some sticker or some sort of art to make it more lively, think of the back seats of a turbo...

Good job!

<-- is wondering what you were smoking when you thought that up Nobody ever bought a porsche for its' practicality, but for looks and performance. You ruined the interior with this move

(stumbled upon this while searching for a 944 rear seat DIY)

Good job!
Straps instead of the handle. Like RS door panels.
