Seat swap
Has anybody ever swapped their (front)seats to something that doesn't belong? My old leather seats are all ripped up, all the motors are tired and the foam is practically gone, my cheap seat covers can only do so much. I've been looking at getting them fixed up, but after the prices of the new motors, sprockets and potentially worm gears, as well as the effort to reupholster, I think it would be easier and cheaper to just stuff a newer seat in there. I've been thinking that I could grab a newer seat, out of maybe a chrysler 300 or wk2 with all the fancy features, and fabricate my own bracket and I'm not afraid of doing electrical work, but I'm not sure how well they would fit. I also kind of want to get cooled seats in there, since i live in florida, but I'm not really sure how they work in the new cars, if they are just a fan in the seat or if they have actual freon involved. I imagine the memory seats won't work, but I don't really use those anyway. I just wonder if anyone has ever tried anything like this before, any brainstorming could be helpful
