My winter ride and general toy is a Suzuki Sidekick. 1.6L, 8v, 4x4, 5 spd stick. It needs new seats. The fronts are coming apart at the seams and the driver seat's foam is so worn out that my butt rests more on the metal frame than the bolsters.
So, I want to go the custom route and swap in the interior from another car into my 'Kick. Rail spacing doesn't matter as this will end up being a custom install. The problem is that I want a matching interior. So I need a donor car with all good seats. The second problem is that the back seat of the 'Kick is tiny. The stock bench is only 40" across.
Here are the cars with seats that I know will fit -
MK2 and MK3 Supra
Stealth and 3000GT
Z32 2+2
3rd and 4th gen Celica
Finding any of those for parts at all is difficult let alone one with good condition seats. I live in the SW suburbs of Chicago. I've been to 5 self pull junkyards and called several others. No luck.
So, any ideas for other cars that may fit? Or does anyone know where I can find any of those with good seats?
Thanks.
