How can I make an Sr20 fit into a gemini????
Do I have to grind off..... hehehehe joking

For any panel van owners taht are sick of only having a two seater do what i did.
Step 1. Got to wrecker
Step 2. Rip out bench seat from old holden 1 tonne ute.
Step 3. Strip off cracked leather and cut down so its gonna fit in your gem then recover it.
Step 4. Modify your stock gem seatbelts so they are longer and change the buckle so theyll clip into the bench seat.
Step 5. Set up center belt and fasten to the wall thing behind ur seats.
Step 6. Go to an engineer, 30 bucks get it signed off on.
Viola 3 seater piece of cake and it cost me a grand total of 50 bucks Smile

plus it looks pretty cool.
PS Missing steps chop down your console and fasten down seat and back.
Cheers

Well in the great State of QLD you would get defected,

as there is no ventilation for the passengers in the rear, unless you put a snorkel on the roof, or remove the panels you are out of luck,

now you think why did Isuzu make a panel van and cart a family around? i dont know,

but you will then have to get a mod plate and engineered as a two seater, the only way you can get around thi is if you are the original one owner, now forget that

although the write up is detailed, may only work in a wagon
