well not so happy went to scrappers to get the estima swivel seats and thought i would measure them before taking out and found that there would not be enough room to put them in the van the way i wanted to do it :cry: .so as a already have the seats from the van had a change of plan put 3 seater facing the back of van behind driver/pasenger seats then measured from that to where the other seat needs to be to make 6ft bed using the table between seats for the rest of the bed and it ended up being halfway into the toilet cubby.so toilet cubby being chopped down and made smaller .the only plus side to all this reworking is i can use the origanal bolt holes for the seats :) .when i have finished i will take new pictures of the new layout .
cheers for now nila
