    are you planning on retaining the rear seat? or is the car going to stay a 2 seater?
    if so, consider this...


    notice the rear seat supports have been removed.
    Trees aren't kind to me...

    currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
    94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

        Yes almost identical to that.
        I will keep it sort of the same inside. - just cover up the bare metal

          How do you remove spot welds without ruining the other metal?

            you can be gentle with a grinder, if you know how to weld u can do like me and just drill them then fill the holes with another spot weld but you need to treat the bare metal.

                    What I was thinking was use some sort of wood.
                    Cut it out then screw it in in the original holes.
                    Then add carpet as a covering on the "wood".
                    That was my original plan.

                    I am on a thin budget.

                      3/8" plywood (cheap), using cardboard cutouts as templates like Daniel said. I might suggest getting all the pieces cut and covered with the carpet/fabric before you screw them down, that way you can wrap the carpet to the back and hide the edges, plus it will be a lot easier to glue/staple it down with the wood pieces out in the open. No need to try to reuse original holes, just drill holes in the wood panels then use self tapping screws to go right through the sheet metal.
                      No festiva for me ATM...

                        I see what your are saying about the carpet...
                        That sounds like a good idea - the only thing is that the main purpose of the carpet was to cover the screws, otherwise I would have just painted the wood.

                          depending on the pile off the carpet and color and type of screw head used, you should be able to make the screws dissapear...
