Ive been throwing around the idea of doin a rear seat delete for a while since my dog is the only one that rides in the back seat and the car will eventually become my track beater. I have been doing a little research around the forums to see what other people have done an so far this is the best representation of what I want to do: ![http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/Boarderx192/E36/Questions/Dsc03273x.jpg](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/Boarderx192/E36/Questions/Dsc03273x.jpg) I will be adding a cage next spring so I want to try and do as much research now as I can to figure out exactly what I want to do. What is the best way to make a template for the shape of the back seat so I can transfer it to a piece of wood and cut it out? Pic of dog too: ![http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v253/190/111/500242231/n500242231_466904_8887.jpg](http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v253/190/111/500242231/n500242231_466904_8887.jpg) ---

subscribed, because i’m most likely going to be doing the same thing… but i’ll probably just have it open to the trunk so I can fit my gear bag in my trunk and snowboard ect… ---

still working on the aesthetic end of the back seat, but so far it will be based around this: [![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v348/BigEd2006/automotive/Formula/th_Picture008.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v348/BigEd2006/automotive/Formula/th_Picture008.jpg)](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v348/BigEd2006/automotive/Formula/Picture008.jpg) Who knew the rear-seat mounting holes fit perfect for the bottle bracket holes. ---

I take mine out all the time when I’m going to track days and put my race tires back there… I can’t wait to put it back in when I get home because it acts as sound deadening and also doesn’t weight anything really. ---

BMW enthusiasts frown upon you changing the weight of their beloved Bavarian Motor Werked machine. You will upset the 50/50 weight distribution! The back seat of the E36 coupes come out way easy and weigh like nothing anyways. I just had mine down to the metal. TBH, unless you really want carpeting, just taking it all down doesn’t look to bad, especially if its gonna be a track car. ---
