Who installed late model CV or Merc seats?

I got to looking at my XR7 buckets I have in the car now, and debating what I am going to do.

I still and going to need to figure dot the back seat...my original is trashed, the spare set I have, the material is ok, but the fabric that retains the material to the frame is shot and ripping so the cover is getting loose.

 

Wonder if I can make the rear seat from the Saturn fit OR just put 2 more buckets back there!?

 

 

Oh, forgot to ask... WHAT year and model did those Saturn seats come from?

 

I looked at Mustang, Explorer, and various other seats.   I didn't think about those Saturn seats and I saw someone using Pontiac G8 seats.  They both look pretty good in the Torino.   I also found some power seats from a 90 Thunderbird Super Coupe, but they were trashed as well.   The desert is heck on the interiors   I've been to many of the local salvage yards here.   They all are overpriced or trashed here.  

 

I gave up...tired of driving an hour away just to look at trash.   I went ahead and bought Procar Elite Seats with the lumbar support.  They seem pretty nice, but getting brackets has been a nightmare.   I have been waiting now for 3months.   The first set of brackets (after a 6weeks) sent to me were the correct part number per their  website, but Procar website part numbers for the Torino are incorrect.   They had to reorder the part numbers from the Ranchero.   They promised to expedite the order due to their screw up.   Procar basically did nothing other than order the brackets from China.   Jegs has been really helpful through this process.  However, I regret dealing with Procar.   I will never again buy anything from that company.   Be forewarned...avoid Procar.

 

My plan was to re-upolster teh front seats to match the rear and just buy a kit for the backseat.  That way it will appear more like a stock interior.  (Interior is Ginger)

 

 

I also think one of the best options is the early 90's Mustang seats.   I really liked the Pontiac G8 seats and the Tbird Super Coupe has really nice support.    The other after market seat that I was considering was Corbeau.    They are nice seats that aren't crazy expensive.     I wanted to keep the 70's interior look with some improvements.   Subtle OEMish look.    I think my choice will look nice when its done.   I will post some pics when I get things finished up.

Keep in mind, after all my welding and adapting the manual T bird tracks, if I don't use the T bird seats, and need something to bolt in using the SuperCoupe seats Andy in Blair has, you are more than welcome to them if you want. Otherwise, will stick them probably on Ebay or something with the other pair of Tbird buckets I have in storage.
