Work on the rears slow last night, I blame tiredness (& red wine). The rear seat backs look like this currently. This was the point when doing the fronts we though "oh bugger, have we bitten off more than we can chew"

That's better, the sheet metal work is now re-attached, with a couple of additional welds for good measure.

Backs of the rear seat done. Looking good. It looks like the fabric is lose in the photo but it's not, the weave looks odd in photos.
