987 Seat Swap (Page 3/3)

Very nice looking seats.
The Fiero seats are very low, not just the seat back height, but also the tracks.
I did a seats and belts swap in my Fiero and the tracks were definitely the hardest part. Do those seats fold forward?

Thank you. The seat tracks were shockingly easy to install. After I cut away a lot of stuff I didn't need, I was able to weld them to the Porsche seats in the perfect position. It was amazing. The seats fold forward, but not in the car. Not enough room.

LOL, lucky guy.
I don't remember exactly what I modified?? But I think I used the Fiero tracks and modified the donor seat tracks too?
The seats I swapped do tilt forward, but not that much. They are designed to only tilt slightly forward. They don't hit the roof.
My goal was to get them to go so far back that they touch rear bulkhead.

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to finishing the wiring yet, it seems like something always gets in the way lately. Sat in the car for the first time in several weeks and gave it a wash and a short drive on a beautiful Sunday and the leather smell was amazing. My Saab 9-3 convertible has developed a coolant leak so the Fiero is now on commuting duty for the time being.
