trawling through old bucket seat threads.

Is there any current consensus on a magic fit bucket that fits FEFCs really well, is in plentiful supply and can be retrimmed to not look too far out of place in a 50s car.

Getting sick of rolling around on/in (collapsed now) the stock bench in my wagon.

We're moving into a rental house for a year, and it has no garage.

The car is used at least a few days a week so I don't want it entirely wrapped up , but want something relatively easy to drag on and off and that ensures the car doesn't suffer too much for its year outside.

Anyone have any particular recommendations?
Stuff to avoid?
Tips, links?

umm I see from Vic FEFC club you must attend a couple of events, which shouldn't be too hard.

Club Plates - Special Requirements
Please note, if you are considering putting your vehicle on Club Plates, the FE-FC Holden Car Club of Victoria has a number of requirements that must be met.

The Club Permit Conditions of the FE-FC Holden Car Club of Victoria Inc:

You must be a financial member of The FE-FC Holden Car Club of Victoria Inc.
You must show that you are an active Club member by attending Club events in your FE-FC. This includes monthly General Meetings and official social events. If your FE-FC is not 'on the road', you can attend in another vehicle.
You will need to be a member for at least 6 months.
Once 6 months have passed and you have attended Club events, you must obtain a Roadworthy Certificate for your vehicle. Then you can apply for a Club Permit.
When your Club Permit is granted, you must attend at least 2 Club events in your Club Permit vehicle per financial year.

Sorry if this has been discussed previously, but...

A friend questioned why I was on full registration and I said 'because I drive the car and don't want to only drive to club runs and the like', so he tells me the system has changed and you can drive 90 days of the year, and it costs way less than full rego.

I investigate...
http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/Registration/PermitsModificationsAndDefects/OtherPermits/ClubPermits.htm 
and find that you need to be a member of an approved club.

1. Is there a list of approved clubs?
2. Is an FEFC vic club 'approved' by VicRoads?
3. Will they tolerate people who really only want to pay club fees so they can get Vic club plate rego?

Should mention pickup from Aspendale Gardens Vic 3195 (near Mordialloc)
