    you can still run a back seat with trimming and yo dont loose much trunk space about 3'' per side!

    Look at my web site under instructional downloads and see what it takes to mini tub a car and what you'll loose or gain!

    Mini-tubbed 79 capri. I run a 12" wheel with a 28x10.5 tire. Original rear seat was retained with no problems. Made mounting brackets for seat back. Plastic fit very nice and neat after trimming for tub. Car sits relatively low at ride height. Have no clearance issues between tire and wheel well/tub front or back.
