the console will fit not a problem, but the rear seats wont as they have a different shape to the them as well as the catch being int he wrong palce

the fronts will fit but you will lose the tilt, but if you already have seats they are easy enough to recover with the recaro stuff

Sapphire seats are an easy fit.
Undo 2 screws (1 either side) and they ti forward.
Just need to make a catch to lock them in when back.
Rears fit in no problem, just a bit tight.
Thinking of fitting the rear bench of a 3 Door into mine as had one retrimmed in leather years ago

Heres mine as it is now






3 Door rear seats
