I have an 85 GL (non-westy) and regularly reverse the front passenger
seat when camping; easy, takes me about 1 minute, and really opens up
the area and provides a nice lounge chair.

The thought finally struck me, "Hey, what about also reversing the
driver's seat?"  It looks the steering wheel would still fit into the
curve of the backrest with the driver's seat reversed.  

Question is, how to remove and re-install the driver's seat in it's
tracks?  With the passenger seat, no problem:  slide forward off tracks,
reverse, and re-enter tracks on the front.   I seems like this wouldn't
be possible on the driver's side since the steering wheel is in the way.
Does (or can) the driver's side seat remove towards the rear?   Are
there stops that would have to be (somehow) removed?

I understand you Westy folks out there only rotate the driver's seat 90
degrees, and there would be no room for your feet even if you did rotate
it 180 degrees.  But for us regular Vanagon folks, especially for guys
like me with homemade camping interior, this driver's seat rotation is
an interesting option.  Anybody done it?
