  • Swappable seats

    Just curious are there any seats that can be swapped or do all seats require fabrication? Possibly picking up a non running green ish festiva

    I believe they all require some leg fabrication. There is a large drop in height from the center to the outer mounting pad. Most car seat mounts are level and symmetrical.

    Personally, I believe adapting the original Festiva feet is the cleanest method.

      So I got it. Almost no rust except scratches in the paint. Glad to have another festiva.

              91--94 Mazda Protégé seats will swap onto the Festiva frame and makes for a good seat for travelling.
              An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

                        Got to start a build thread on it now. Sucks that the paint is all scratched up though
