easiest way is to go to a scrappy and get a same cloth passenger seat as it'll be alot less worn and swap the top halves over so you get a passenger base on a driver top half. if your top half is worn its a bit harder as the seat tilt mechanism will need a bit of tweaking to get the handle on the right side.

I have a five door. My drivers seat has gone. Can I get a good passenger seat from a scrappy, and swap it for my drivers seat by just unbolting the sub frames, and swapping the seat over?

sort of, except the lever which slides your seat backwards and forwards won't work so you'll either have to bolt it in one place or swap the subframes over. its not too hard.

Nice one Joe. I thought I would have to do the sub frames. Little lady needs to be able to move the seat forward!
Only things now, is trying to track down a good passenger seat in the black with grey and red check ! PM me if anyone knows.!  :smiley:
