It has been done many times before. Use the advance search function and make sure you check the box that says archives. Turtlevette comes to mind as someone with C4 seats.

1991 C4 seats in my '71. There is no room for the power seat motors or mechanism. I had to mount the seats almost on the floor. They still slide forward/aft, but it's manual.

Markus,

Did you lose any leg room? I am 6'5" and barely fit as it is but those seats look good in your car.

Thanks wade

Wade: I'm 5'10". I'm comfortable, but the seat is all the way back. At 6'5" I don't think you'd like it.
