I finally broke down and found a way to install the leather regal seats I got from Ed. The driver seat bolted right in after I removed the headrest to give myself a little more manuvering room. The passenger seat I had fixed a local interior shop by putting the foam and leather cover onto my factory seat frame. So now I have a functioning flip forward seat for rear access.

The back seat took a little hacking which turned out to be alot less trouble than I anticipated (how often does that happen?!) I am still having a little issue with getting the cushion to stay in the floor clips but I think that will be easily solved. The 60/40 fold down workslike a charm and the comfort level far exceeds the old cloth. My door panel inserts are now a mismatch but I'll worry with that at a later date.

Sweet. Wish that was my car, but you know how things go... They look awesome, just I expected they would. Beside, getting the passenger seat to be the only one that flips forward, you can route all traffic to the other side while sitting in the vehicle. smile

heaters have been removed since I didnt want to fuss with wiring them up...passenger seat is still manual just like the stock seat was. both front seats were direct bolt in.

I had to drill some holes for the rear backrest bolts but the slots for the plastic guide pegs were already there...just had to trim away two small pieces of the package shelf trim.

Nice, I wanted to know are you willing to sell your old driver seat because the cushion on mine is gone and my seat is broken on the bottom because my nephew was jumping on my seat and its coming thru out the bottom of the seat.

my driver seat was pretty well shot which is why I replaced it. The electric motors still work but the cushions are crushed.
