I was wondering if anyone has attempted a seat swap in an
80/90? I have an 80Q that I'm driving with cloth manual
seats, and a 90Q parts car with nice leather power seats
(memory too), and I'd really like to swap them. Issue #1 is
the front mounting points. The power seats use bolt-through
rails, while the manual one uses the central bracket which i
think is welded to the floor. I won't know how hard this
will be to fix until I get the seats and carpet out of the
way in the 80. Problem #2 is wiring. I'm not even sure how
much I'll have to swap over from the 90, but it appears to
be a LOT, as there's a bundle in the door for the memory
buttons, and several connectors on the drivers seat. I've
followed the drivers seat harness to underneath the dash,
where it disappears behind all the other wiring. This looks
like fun. The passenger side I suspect is routed in a
similar way, but much simpler, as all it should have is 12V,
ground, and the heater wires. Oh, and I assume there's a
module hidden somewhere for the memory functions. Am I in
for a collossal project, or is it maybe not all that bad?
One more thing, if anyone needs some 90Q parts, let me know,
as I'm parting out the car very soon. I've already removed
some items that I know could be useful - engine, abs unit,
m/c and booster, ps pump, some of the lights. the car is in
Indianapolis. Contact me offlist. I'd be really interested
in trading for some wheels, also.
