You don't have to take the seat pan out. However if the bins are being replaced then cut the bin out as far as possible. Then you can remove the spot welds on the B pillar and the return on the heelboard and the floor.

 

The heelboard to inner sill reinforcement bracket will be a pain to do but with the outer sill off and bin out access will be that much easier to do.

 

And thems ain't slippers, more like flippers. lol!!

 

not sure about the bins till i get them out for a better look..by the sounds of things i'll be taking it all out to make it easier   thanks sonikk4

In case you have any trouble finding the tartan seats, they were from the Rover Mini sidewalk.

I always liked them too

Maybe cause my granddad used to wear tartan trousers all the time

All the best with the build
