79-04 seats are plentiful, and are a direct bolt in. Keep an eye out in the classifieds, and local bone yards for a set. I have scored a couple sets from junk yards, cheap.

I've paid under $100 for a pair of fronts. One was a pair of power GT tweed stye seat, and another was a pair of '01 V6 cloth buckets that were mint.

hey when it comes to those floors if you havent done them yet, you can get sheet metal from Home depot or lowes and rivet it from underneath then glass it. It will hold up alot longer.
