Question about forward facing folding rear seats in a 90

I'm planning a project (axles, 300tdi and autobox from a Disco 1 on to a new 90 galv chassis). I'd like to make it a 5 seater, so my question is around whether or not there are any restrictions on the type of donor 90 I need to source which would allow me to put in folding forward facing seats in the rear. e.g. does it have to be a County?

Ideally, I'm thinking of a hard top, if it's allowed to have those seats in the back.

Any advice would really be be appreciated - quite keen to start looking for the donor vehicles soon, as I can't stop thinking about this wee truck!

Many thanks.

Welcome to the site!

If you are looking to fit the genuine LR rear forward-facing seats, then you are best off sourcing a Puma station wagon rear tub, as these are shaped on the inner wheel arches to receive those seats.

If you are looking to fit aftermarket seats, then any rear tub is OK.
