In looking over the seat back something struck me as wrong and out of place. Finally it hit me.
I bought this seat for $40, so this isn’t a complaint. But it was supposed to be an 87-89 sport seat. What I found is that the top half is actually a base model seat that someone modified to hold the lumbar bladder (this seat came with one)
Someone took snips, cut the flap and bent it over.
this is how it should look.
what caught my eye was the back of the seat. After searching EBay for a bit, I found the pattern. The seat on the left with the small hump is the 4 cyl seat back and the seat on the right (or top rather) is the sport seat back.
someone did weld this seat up and did a nice job. It’s nice and straight,
mixed feelings on this. I’ll need to see how the foam sits otherwise I’ll have to hop on eBay and buy another top frame. Oh well.
These won’t get worked on until the car is driving, so I have time to find a good deal. These will get stripped down, evaporusted, painted and rebuilt like new just like the Recaros. Nice winter project disn the road. I still need to find an 87-89 rear seat as well .
