Looking at switching out the front seats in the '75 beetle I just picked up, and was looking for ideas on Toyoya's, Honda's etc as replacement seats with minimal modification to the original rails. Any Ideas out there.
Thanks,

| Try eBay. I found some sweet seats there. I was in the same boat, last week found a totaled mini cooper near my house on eBay, and purchased the mint condition seats, front and back....this is going to be cool. The fronts fit in perfect, I'm setting them in on square pipe to raise them up a bit but they are about as nice a fit as you will find...and comfy. Working on some mods for rear seating. I wound up ripping the entire interior down to bare floor, and starting over from there. I will have extensive pics when I get finished for ya'll. So...We know Mini Cooper seats fit great, look cool, and are very comfortable. I'm 6'1" and they work for me. |
