I've always liked the Fox cockpit anyways!!!
It's not as easy as it looks. That guy has a build thread on corral, and he also had to replace the whole floor pan / firewall with the one from the GT500. That's why it all fits right.
Sub'd - Just got a set of 09 GT leather seats because of this thread
im looking and cant find any.... any suggestions? cl has nothin...
Everytime I see a thread like this, I get tempted to replace the seats in my 86.
2 things prevent me:
I REALLY like the 86 seats and Halo headrests.
I consider those seats a trademark of the model year.
Still... That came out very nicely and is VERY tempting.

I'd like to see a weight comparison, if either of you guys are willing to weigh one VS a Fox seat.
The GT500 seats are more comfortable than the basic GT seats, however I am sure they will still be a great improvement over the fox seats.
I can weigh the difference. I have stock 4 banger seats coming out though. I'll probably do the swap in the next few weeks once the weather breaks!
Nik if i were you id just keep the 86 seats. As you've said, they are iconic! If anything id recover them in new fabric and seat cushions. Restore them if they aren't in good shape!
I mean, that may be true, but my seats aren't just "basic GT seats". they are black and grey leather seats, and look identical to the OP's seats minus the snake. So i'd assume they are close to, if not the same seat. Regardless, as you've said the visual and comfort factors will be greatly improved.
Shout out to my best bud out in the Mittin @SVT32VDOHC for the seat hookup! I also have 99-04 rear black leathers to go in the back.
in the 90's we used to swap in escort GT seats.
