    Have to admit it is a little cramped.

    Wanna buy a station wagon body?

    I know how that feels the small canter rural fire brigade trucks are the same you have to try and squeeze your way in and out of them. Just bearable to drive for long distance. Not the best.
    The large M/R ones are like driving a limo, comfy.

    Nothing's going to fix the seat travel except sitting up straighter, but something like this might fix the legroom issues.

    Or drop the clutch and brake pedals a bit lower, might make a-aall the difference.

    Cheers

    How did this happen Clarkie?

    Does taking off the roof do something to the wheelbase, or the seat travel? Or have you grown to the outdoor experience

    - this is a genuine q, took the roof off a Fiat 124C years ago but I didn't have any such issues.......

    1. Simply take the headrest off

    2. bend the stalk of the headrest and re-upholster it with minimal padding.

    3. Do a similar thing to the seat back - re-upholster with very little padding - it may help to remove the shell off the back of it as well.
