    Converting GQ 7 Seater to an 8 Seater??

    93 GQ LWB manual - 7 seater

    Looking for some way to change the 2 seats in the front to 3.

    Adding a 6th child to the mix later this year and refuse to get rid of my GQ.

    Cannot replace the rear bench seat to seat 3 due to how narrow it is, so only other option is to rip the console out of the front and make it into a third seat.

    Have seen it in an older GQ (not sure of the year), but can anyone point me in the right direction or put me in touch with someone who can?

    Cheers

    the GQ came out with a 3 seater in the front it would just be a case of taking out the passenger seat and bolting in the 2seat new one all the holes should already be there and removing the centre console

    Don't forget to get your seating Mod tag. As many insurance policies won't pay out if Mod done and no Mod tag to approve it.

    If you post it up on here I would have thought you would get a straight swap for "Will swap GQ pax bucket seat and centre console for GQ front 3/4 seat and belts".

    As prev mentioned get the change in seating capacity certified and Vehicle Plate annotated. Could be bad juju if you don't
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
