A long time ago probably 1991 I changed the seating in my 64 Signet and probably shed 50 or more pounds. I installed these leather Nissan seating and never looked back. They are way more comfortable, lightweight, long lasting and the back seat fits really perfect with little to no modification. You can pick up the seats without busting your balls and practically all japanese high dollar car front and rear seats will fit perfectly on the width.

Awesome! Later down the road if I do buckets, I would get modern seats but then have them upholstered to match the rear seat with a mix of the checkered black and green cloth and dark green leather or vinyl. There are a few companies that have access to the NOS original materials the factory used.

Ill take your old seats if you dont want em! LOL. Those 924 seats are prolly not easy to find here, but theyre purddy
 
Ta man, they gotta be comfy, my lower back shot so couple hours in wrong seats and im f''''''. people do my head in, "aaah, its not original...try find original seats! love the dash in your signet, any other piccys please?
 
Hey I'm South African, with Zimbabwe across the border still calling you guys colonialists. Being Eurocentic is sometimes a challenge here.
 
Got my seats out of a 1985-86 Chrysler Laser. Soft Corrinthian Leather, they recline and the drivers side has a pump up thigh and lumbar support. In between is a 1970 Cuda console with the "slap-stick" shifter.

:cheers: im doing disk conv 4.0" to 4.5" and other bits and bobs, the new wheels are sat there out the way,dont want to damage them. the seats are 80s porshce, reakon old skool look,comfy and available/affordable,either 924,944 or 911.
 
I got seats out of a 2dr Neon for my Dart, and a pair of late model Cirrus seats ( one power ) for my Duster ( Dont' have a back seat, so no need for it to lean forward ;) ) I am just trying to figure out how to mount 'em...thinking of trying the sliders I found on fleabay, and adapting them for the late model seats. Care to share how you mounted yours?

Looks great BTW!
