Hey Shane
Did the AU interior just bolt in?
What trouble did you have fitting it?

front seats had to swap the squabs over and a little bit of mucking around, but nothing major.
Rears, the top middle section bolted straight in, but the corner pieces had to cut out the brackets and bolt in the AU ones. The bottom section had to buy the AU clips, then drill a hole in the floor and shape to suit the brackets, all up about 3 hrs work to put entire front and rear seats in
