Their has to be a better reason for eliminating the rear seats than "you have to start somewhere" & "everybit counts" thats like trying to by a cheese burger for 10 cents. The whole thing is worth the dollar but 1 /10th of one is just not worth wasting my 10 cents HA that was a dumb analogy but you get it!
I donno Its your car kirk if you want to do that more powa to you.
I on the under hand just started putting my whole interior back together, even got a new carpet shownomercy(but it is lighter than stock)(and I did gut all the heating/air ducts heater core and all that crap from behind the dash its like a cave behind their now)

Better reason:
Getting rid of the rear seats is easier than deleting the a/c, or tearing out the bumper grids. Every weight reduction comes with a price; rear seats are for passengers, and I dont care because the car definitely was not built for 4 people.
Pulling out the rear seats and seatbelts save about 40 lbs. Yeah 100lbs=0.1 1/4 performance, and 40lbs=0.04s. It may not seem like much, but it is the same ratio, and even better if you want to look at gas mileage considering its a DD.
You are building a car from the ground up while Im trying to improve my car based on my own opinions & tolerances. Rear seats~heat, and I am still comfortable in cold weather.
