    No even front VT seats you have to weld extra mounting points in. I am pretty sure even with the rear VR-VS seats you have to drill extra holes which aren't too hard I suppose.

    the easiest way for the fronts is to take the backing pieces off the vt seats and put them into the vn frame it is doable and much easier than fabricating brackets

    the rears will require some modification to secure them but will phisically fit no worries
    im not admiring your car im looking in disgust

    the front seats shouldn't be a problem. the factory holes will line up or be very close. as for the back seat i am not 2 sure about. i know VT seats can fit in a VS so you shouldn't have 2 much trouble.

    ive know of a few people with vx seats in their vn-vs...all of them had to get the back seats mounted onto the existing seats wire frame...obviously a custom job for a upholstery guy....but yeah,its very possible.
    another avenue you could take is to buy just the vx seat foam and re-upholster you current seats with it and then you could have whatever covering you want (leather,velour..both,whatever)..plus it'll fit like a glove straight back in because you're using the original base of the seats.

    Buy some foam and cut it up, buy a industrial sewing machine (must be one on ebay somewhere) and make clubsport styled racing wagon seats front and rear

    Hmm mate i'm considering the same thing but im really doing the interor up made so i duno what i'd do i was thinking of getting new foam and getting leather and red valor lining for the rears then getting sprot seats for the fronts but i'll look into it cause it will be cheaper to put in the vt seats and trust me with me and my mates anythings so if it goes well i'll give the details
