Seats!?
#12
I have a set of 93 seats. I had my boy fab up some flanges. and they work and fit great. he only charged me $10 but i knew the kid forever, although I cant imagine that they'd be to much more expensive elswhere. I like you, need to be able to layback. I almost live in my car so i need all the comfort i can get out of my tiny cockpit.

i had a recaro spd in mine, i loved it, comfy too!
on a side note, ive got a bunch of good seats that need reupolstering, mostly 84-85 leather ones, but i think i have good set of cloth seats, if anyone wants em....

Well, I went and got tthe 87 seats from the junkyard. Imagine my surprise when I dropped
the passengers side in, every single hole lined up, and it had about the same clearance
on the sides!! Yeehaw!! MUCH better side bolsters, on the tops anyway. Too bad they're blue, though.
Going to reupholster them as soon as I find a decent price for decent work. Best of all they're not
twisted up like a pretzel, like the old ones.,,,,BB

Also forgot to add that my seat tracks on the original seats are just about toast.
BIG time rust flakes where they lay on the carpet on the front passenger left side.
I bet I could break them with a set of good pliers. SCARY!! The newer tracks don't have a speck on them. ,,,,BB

Excellent quality, made in Oklahoma, and priced pretty reasonably. If I liked leather on my seats I'd buy a set.

Here's the comparison. MUCH better in my book. I should be getting them redone in the next week or two. Yeah leather is pretty mice, but fabric is cooler especially in black. Here in Houston just sitting down on leather or vinyl can burn you if you're wearing shorts. Also leather isn't in the budget right now unfortunately. Here's the
passengers side installed compared to the drivers. Can't wait to make them match the interior. Going to do nice vinyl side bolsters, with a silver cloth in the center. The seat back will be cloth only up to the midway point, with the headrest more like the original. Eventually I will do the door panels in a matching fabric. Factory seats and door panels didn't match, which is odd even for the early 80's?,,,,BB
