correct way to swb??

[cooperquattro]

i have seen i few methods of making a type 85 into swb,but which is correct????

method 1.cut the rear seat area out and make it shorter

method 2.cut the rear floor section out

i have been informed that the works cars had method 2?????

Where did you find the second picture? I would like to see the rest.

Method 2 is incorrect.

The rear seat base is the shortened piece.

That's why the sport quattro rear seat is narrow.

i have a full collection of the build in the 2nd pic,a mate did it a few years ago,(stil is doing it)
he told me he went to david suttons and copyed a real swb car...

it makes for a very tidy job i thought,but reduces the space for your seat,legs

Method 2 is incorrect.

The rear seat base is the shortened piece.

That's why the sport quattro rear seat is narrow.

i remember the short seat base in the road cars i have seen
is this just on road cars or both rally cars??

How is he going to get a seat in there? Looks very tidy but its not going to work.

[Tonks4x4]

Both road and rally cars had the short rear seat section.

If he just removes the floor section he will not be able to slide his seat back and only a dwarf will be able to drive it.

that was my first thought,what with half the seat runner missing..
