Went to the salvage yard today. Nice Haul....... I got a Close Ratio Steering Box and a pair to front seats out of a 95 Camaro. They look pretty good too. The Steering Box was $20 and the pair of Seats was $30. One of the seats as a Rip, but it's not TOO bad. Still a steal for $30 and they'll look nice in my 1982 Sport Coupe.

 

That'll stitch right up, nice find.

 

I got a tan pair in about the exact same condition about 5 years back. It stitched up well, but still came apart quickly (about a year and a half) in my DD, even though I consciously thought about not dragging when I got in and out.

I'd put seat covers on after you fix it and clean them, and only take them off a couple times a year if you're trying to show off or something, lol

I wish I would have thought of it

 

Id stitch it & put it on the pass side.This way the repair is on the inner bolster.So no rubbing, will last much longer.

 

seat controls would be on the wrong side and unreachable.

guessin they are on the side like stockers, reach down with your left n adjust lean........

----

Id just put some ducktape over it

 

Don't all the 4th gens have a power driver seat though?

If not, I would have looked for manual, I am anti-power in a 2-door car, lol

 

I meant just remove the seat cover(to repair it).Then swap it to the pass seat.

Some 4th gens have a dr.side manual track that pivots up/down at the front.

 

i think my dads T/A has it its a 98

 

Well, Eventually, i will get some NEW upholstery. What i have in there right now is VERY VERY rough. These seats, even with the rip, will be a 300% Improvement. Right now i'm concentrating more on the suspension and drive train to make the car safe.

 

I installed the New (Salvage) Seats today. The bolted right in. It didn't matter that they were from a 1995 Camaro and were going into a 1982 Camaro. The look better than the old ones did, although, they don't really match the interior. Here are some pics of the OLD seats that i took out:

 

Here's a Pic of the seats installed and my new Bowtie Horn button:


BTW, i found $.90 in Change:
1 Quarter
5 Dimes
15 Pennies

 

Hmm, so 4th gen seats bolt right in do they? Any seatbelt issues or anything of that nature?

 

It just bolted up. No Fuss, No Muss. Remember, I did have to use the third gen rails though. I think i'm gonna go back for the back seat. At $30 for the Front and $30 for the back, That's a good deal.

 

That is a good deal, go for it.

 

Nope. Manuals were common on both sides in 4th gens too.

100% bolt in. Only "issue" you might have, is in putting electric ones in & getting them wired. Its not a direct plug in, but wire splicing is part of modding!
