Bucket seats and Aux tank install

Hey guys! So I am about to do a 4700km round trip, going west looking for work and visit my brother. I was really tired of the bench seat and had a few buckkets from a 1990 CRX Si which are made by Recaro. I've always liked these buckets so here are some pics.

Also wanted to be able to do the trip without stopping for fuel so I installed a 430L aux tank with a ball valve to gravity feed through a filter into the main tank,

You might consider putting shut off valves on both sides of the filter. That way when you need to change the filter you won't have fuel running out. Just my two cents, Mike.

Seats look good but you did reinforce the inner floor section right ? I hate to see the floor crack and I'm going the other way just got a good bench to put into my Crew to get rid of the Ramcharger buckets (sit too low)

They are actually still on the original bench brackets, I made crossbars and then welded the bucket rails to the crossbars.
