Man, who knew replacing front seats would be so tuff?

    We'll see tomorrow after work. The inner rear is right above the rail (upside down), can't make it any lower.

      For all that headache and stuff you should opt for the mitsubishi spyder seats lol, one side(inside) just needs reamed out, tab bent down and reamed out, the outside will need some minor fab work but it looks like you should be able to handle it, nothing too hard at all.

      Just saw brave's seats, those look good too!

        I paid $50 for the pair at PAP. It was (at the time) the only pair in the yard that (a) was narrow enough, (b) looked good, (c) sat good, (d) hadn't been in the elements forever,(e) wasn't torn up, and (f) hadn't had a greasy 3rd member laid in them, or greasy hands wiped on them. The rear window was broken out on the car so the back seat had been ruined and even if it hadn't been broken out, the goofy bastid that always goes thru looking for loose change bent the corners of the seat up and ruined it anyway.

          I bought my leather seats on the Bay for cheap. They sent it shrink wrapped on a pallet to a buddy's factory in Port Huron. I drove without seats in my van to pick them up. Just propped them up and drove home. They were in immaculate condition. Easily worth more than double the price.

          The only time I found a decent interior at the junk yard was on interior week special. The whole interior for $50. The giant towmotor just put a fresh Caravan with a complete leather interior and motorized seats. It took me four trips to gut it. Interior means everything inside the vehicle. So I took the Infinity radio, door speakers, door cards, floor mats and three rows of leather seats. $50.

            I get seats for 10-25 each all the time, find another junk yard!!! The Mitsubishi seats were 15 each, pontiac seats were 10 each, got a minivan seat for grandmaws Chrysler for 25, it was the middle bench seat because she didn't like the captains chairs!

                Didn't get to it tonight, had to go pick up a possibly free car. 2002 Grand Prix, 3.1L 120k. Slight tick in the lower part of the engine, shift points are kinda hard, wondering if it'll go to Florida and back.
