"Just a thought... Build some! Coming up in the second-half of the season we build some seats for Altered Ego. It's not that hard, really, and from the looks of the fabrication you've already done, you can handle it no problem."

"WOW, that wasn't what I was thinking at first. Of course you thought we would think: a stressed out 2300 flat 4 with it's life expectancy measured in minutes. Terrific & sneaky."

Toyota MR2 VW Bug project

I am doing what some folks deem blasphemous. But I am doing it anyway. I am constructing (basically from scratch) a 400HP turbo charged 1959 VW Bug. I have attached some photos as well as this web site link. www.BackyardBuild.com. Please let me know what you think.

Seats for my 59 VW Bug Turbo project

I am installing a Toyota MR2 2.2 3SGTE stroker motor, drive-train and everything else from a 91 turbo Mr2 into my 59 VW Bug project. Given the limited interior space, I require two narrow front seats. The maximum seat cushion dimension cannot exceed 20” each. Seat Suggestions??? View detailed pics at BackyardBuild. Com.
