Anyone try to remove rear seat backs and bottom and put in plywood floor to gain space for larger bulkier items? Like maybe converting my Accent to mini pickup with covered cargo area.

Floyd (187sks) was able to put a kayak in the back of his Accent by just putting the seats down and have it hang out the back of the hatch. lol
