Well having to many dishes, and only one mouth, decided to start with this project. The TRD bumper is aside.
I went ahead, and bought MR2 seats because of similarities with our seats. One of them being the lower cushion seats as high as ours. And just by looking at it they look similar.... some pics....   now look at the following picture, is that from a celica or mr2  , they look very similar.... took apart the whole thing...  and the pieces are ready to be cleaned....  but one thing that puzzles me, is the fact of the similarities of the seats.... just take a look at the cushion and the trim pieces.... it looks like i tore up a celi seat. the trim pieces are identical.  so this leaves me with a mistery, can i put the cushions of the mr2 on the celi seat track. I dont have a clue yet, but i will try. I am so tired, so i only undid the mr2 seats, i would have to take apart a celi seat and figure out compatibility. Keep you guys posted.....

well 30 mins in ac and two activia yogurts... decided to move on..
here is side by side comparison of both metal bases. the achoring points are different.. but they are otherwise similar...  the mr2 cushion fits the celis metal skeleton. except for some edge trimming... it has some weird airbag sensors that i wont use...  mounted to the seat, it is not tied yet, because it will be washed first    some leftovers.  so basic lesson, you dont have to swap the lower cushion, however i needed the same color fabric, all you have to do is swap the upper torso and get the whole seat reupholstered... whooooooohooooooo no soldering, that trip to North carolina was worth it....... end of story. I already ordered some samples to change my molded carpet color.... I am redesigning the interior...

Keke, thats no airbag sensor, looks like a pressure sensor for sensing if there's anyone on the seat so the seatbelt warning light can turn on or off accordingly. --------------------  98% completion --- aaRon |
