Cavhopper has done this on VXon, but there was no How2 ever done.
No pictures of how at least, but there was some description of what was done.

as ive got the gsi recaros they should go in easier as they are just cobbled in as standard, so modding some box section shouldn't be too bad.

Will probably weld in the seat brackets off the vectra might be easier, but all in all slightly less hassle than i expected.

I've been toying with the idea that if the floor goes in the cav, buying replacement floor sections for the vectra and replacing it with them so there's no modding required.

But my floor is currently solid, so there's no sight of that happening any time soon.

Hope to see progress pics of it once you decide how your going about it :)
