I'd like to remove the rear seat and build a box with a bit of storage space and some better speakers.
Anyone have info/tips/plans on doing this? Any help would be appreciated.
1993 XJS 4.0 coupe.
TIA

 

Although you have a coupe, here is a link to a '95 convertible thats been converted. Maybe a call to them can offer some clarity on how it was done. From the pictures, it looks like a pretty tidy job.

Thanks - That's a really nice car but he's being a bit over-the-top on the price.

 

Sent him an email. This was his response;
"they just took it out and built a shelve" ;-))

 

Pete a pic of my rear box area .


body stiffining braces , 1" square tubing!

 

Yeah, his levels are very rich. I guess he can't be bothered to help. Its does look like a good job, thought it would at least give you a starting point for some ideas. It shouldn't be that hard to do...

 

The correct box from an XJ-S is available on EBay for 200 dollars- question is if it would drop into your car or not after having it reupholstered to match your interior....

I considered this modification in my own car, but ultimately decided the rear useless seats are part of the cars character, and reupholstered them in new leather.

 

Thanks. I like the idea of using 1" tubing for the frame. Nice simple installation.

 

That ebay box is for pre-facelift cars. So many changes to panels, etc, with facelift, I would question whether this box just drops in and fits.

Might be possible to find a wrecked/breaker '93-'94 'vert and get the pieces from there.
