Making More Room
Well i havn't got my repu here yet(picking it up on the 10th) But i have been told there is very little room in it for a tall person(its a 74, and i am 6'5" and only 16 so still growing. I was thinking to ge tthe seat back as far as possible, has anyone made the back of the cab, the back of the seat? I have been in an early courier, and it was comfterably squished

6'5"? Wow, I am a little uncomfortable (legs) in my '75 and I'm only 5'10". The REPU and Courier cabs are identical (basically) all the way through- it was everything else that was different (though some cabs differences exist such as shifter holes, etc.). If you were uncomfortable in the Courier, you will be in your REPU as well. Best bet is to get a '77 model- they are a little bit deeper.

Glad to hear it...
... but did you really gain more room with the Honda bucket seats over the stock bench? I tried some 81-83 and 84-85 RX-7 seats, and found I actually lost alot of room doing that, even with the rear of the seat totally upright against the back of the cab. I'm assuming the Honda seats you used are smaller than 7 seats? What year and trim level Civic did you pull your seats out of?
