Beast is the nicest name I've called my pony this last week. One simple carb/intake swap last weekend leads me into a week long process of finding 3 other problems and having to fix them before I can drive it again. Ahh, the joys of owning a 36 year old car.

Anyway, the seats are from a 1990ish Toyota Supra. I got the seats for free and spent a few hours making brackets to mount on the new seats so they'll bolt to the floor. Then I took them to a local occupational college (along with the center console and rear seats) and had them reupholstered with black vinyl. It took about 3 months, but they came out great for a daily driver (and the price was right for $45 + materials!)
