I'm new to this forum officially but I have read many threads while working my 1985 TA that has been in my family for 25 years. Done a fair amount of work to make it mechanically sound and I am picking away at some interior parts. I can't seem to find a couple of items though and was hoping someone here could help. The first picture is under the passenger side of the dash. It looks like some sort of cover is missing but I can't find a good picture or diagram of anything online. The second are of the seat tracks. I have found all of the bolt covers, but I am not sure which one goes where when it pertains to the front as my car has never had any. Any pics of the installed pieces would be great. The last is of the right vent pull. You can see the plastic handle is busted. It doesn't operate either so I am sure it needs more than the little handle. Thanks and I appreciate any help given.
Learned something new today -- was almost finished typing all this before I realized that cars without factory a/c have completely different underdash panels. Those parts are going to be very difficult to find as the vast majority of these cars had air conditioning. I think the 1990-92 cars had different lower driver's dash panels as well, which will make it even more difficult to find. I've looked all over eBay, but no luck. Best advice I can give is keep looking on eBay, or wait until someone on here parts out a non-a/c car in the Parts For Sale forum.
No idea on the seat bolt covers, I have a bunch of those that I've pulled from other cars, but can't ever seem to get any of them to fit my car while still allowing the seat to be adjusted.
Thanks for the reply. There are a couple on ebay that I found but they both look like mine. Guess its possible that vent is supposed to be exposed like that and there isn't a piece missing after all. Kind of strange that foam would be visible. You'd think the under dash Piece would hid that vent a little more.
For years I thought those vent handles were just a fake handle to make the interior look cool. When I pulled the entire dash out, I realized they actually go to those vents. I worked the vents, lubed up the cables and all associated components and got them working again.
My passenger side hush panel looks the same, my car had no A/C

I suppose it's possible. The foam was likely flush with the panel at one point -- if it's not too rotted out, you can probably remove the panel and re-attach the foam flat with some spray adhesive from the back side.
Good to know. Now I can stop searching for something that probably doesn't exist. I think I will take the advice of using some spray adhesive as the foam is still in great shape and so is the panel.
