<VV> Seats

[Marc Sheridan]

Hank,
Don't know why you don't want to start a thread on seats, it is always 
something I am interested in and it is Corvair related.

One of the best thing I ever did to my car was install  modern seats. 
Mine are from a '95 Grand Am , have lumbar adjustment on the driver side 
and only cost me thirty bucks for the pair. To prepare them for 
installation, I took them to the local coin operated car wash, gave them 
a good bath, then took the bases off so they could be painted. It only 
took a couple of new holes in the floor to get them bolted in.

However, a word to the wise, if you have a two door, make sure your new 
seats came from a two door. Otherwise, it can make it awkward to get in 
the back seat if your seats came from a four door. Don't ask me how I 
know :o).
