He has some cool stuff on there. oldskoolvw.com the "doppleganger" truck is very cool, And not over done. I love that it still has the square headlight set up!

He still might be active on another MK1 VW site I've been on, the152.com. He also had a build thread on there for the doppelganger that I think talked about the bench. The best way to get him, though is through oldskoolvw.com, definitely.

I was looking at using a Rabbit back seat. It can be made to fit, but I realised that its friggin' uncomfortable for any length of time. I was thinking of putting the e-brake on the driver's side attached to the stock pull mechanism (sans handle) with a rotating shaft. A lot of torque though.
This would also make me want to build a tree shifter, which just seems like a bad idea as far as complexity.

what oldskool did was use a set of bases.. made the seat fold/tip towards the steering wheel to access the handbrake.. his set up was nice.. and not over complex.. vs things like ive seen roddo rear seat fabbed into a bench in one.. those looked almost like a recaro bench.. but unless it folds forward.. or what not pretty usless..

terry is all over his facebook page - old skool vulcanwerks.. tons of great pictures. there was a post about Mk1 Caddy bench seats - there were a few people chiming in with pics of their set up's... it was quite interesting - I remember reading the budget one was mk2 rear 60/40 seat...
His facebook page is very active with tons of other enthusiasts input and information.. you can learn more on his page that you would on vortex....
