True, I guess I’ve been away so long I forgot one of the cardinal rules of posting...

Wow, those look great! Manual or electric? And was it easy to wire up?

[rossiz]

Electric recliner (you can see the control on the side of the seat pan).

power was the easy part. Major drama rebuilding the mounting system. Not for the faint of heart.

Nice seats. Nice fabrication work too. Does this mean you have a spare set of original seats with heaters?

[rossiz]

Thanks. 

And yes...

So, I know it was Porsche, but what model? I've got a Boxster in the garage and I've already measured the seats.

Boy... Would SWMBO sure be surprised if she went out one day and found her seats weren't in her car anymore!!  

PS - Sorry, OP for the thread jack. I think we're almost done.

No worries! I am just wondering how that black eye would look with that beard? You could of course claim you tripped and hit your face on the lathe

BTW we're getting close, so no stupidity before Atlanta! Take care of that back!!!

It’s been a bit - can’t remember the model. Was late 90’s I believe.

Please note this was a huge PITA project. Definitely not a “bolt-in”. The seats had a manual piston-assisted height adjustment, which I had to remove/collapse and weld closed to get them low enough to clear the headliner, the mounting point width was too wide so I had to fab new mounts, the tracks were too long so I had to cut/weld them and reconfigure the slide adjustment lever, and the floor pan on the drivers side (propeller shaft hump) required some “adjustment” with a 4 lb hammer to make room. I don’t recommend this unless you are hell-bent on making it happen and willing to modify your z a bit.

Wait... Nothing stupid?? Nothing? Am I supposed to live in a plastic bubble of good judgment for the next month??

I was supposed to go for a run with scissors today.

Well that narrows it down some.  

I put Fiero seats in mine and it wasn't easy. I didn't have to bash the hump on the floor (BTW - it's for the catalytic converter on such equipped models), but I had all the same mounting issues. Not an easy project.

If that's what it takes!
