Hi, I know it's obviously not a quick job because of the difference between them, but since I'm changing the seats in my Mk2 Escort I want to put the old ones in my Renault 5 rather than let them go to waste. So, what sort of things would I have to go about doing to make them fit?

Personally, I always look to fit the donor seat onto the subframe/runners of the original seat.
This has numerous benefits, no sodding about with the bulk of the subframe, the subframe already fits the floor and locates to it via existing holes etc and you can position the donor seat onto the subframe and move the seat about on it till you get an optimum fit where the seat doesn't foul the tunnel/seatbelt mount/door armrest etc.
All you then have to do is make up fittings to fit the seat to the subframe which, if you are lucky, may be able to be made and bolted without needing welding.
Ive done a fair few seat changes and Ive found this the best way to go, for me.
Each to their own though.
