I wanted the back seat to have the effect of bucket seats and they wanted a fortune to make mine look that way. So I bought a back seat from a 2002 BMW 5 series and put it in.343

Looks good. Did you use the same front seats to match?

I did not use the front, I wanted the integrated seat belts. Being a Sport Coupe I did not want to mount the shoulder belts to the roof.

looks good i gonna be doing something just like this i was going to use seats out of a cadilac cts or a sts because the front seats have the seat belts biult into the seat itself i didnt want to mount the seat belt to the roof either plus their all power and heated but the only problem with them is that they are for a 4 door so if you have a 2 door you would have to biuld a seat bracket so the seat could slide foward they do have 2 door cts's now but the are hard to find the 4 doors are more popular good luck though

Nice fit Jim. Do you have any pics of the under-structure? The newer seats seem to be nothing but a frame and upholstery, so they need something to sit on. I have a rear seat from an Eldorado but decided to make custom rear seats in my Nomad.
