My '94 AT200 interior was absolutely rubbish. I've had the car for 5 years now, and it was always kind of a blemish on the overall appearance to me. Well, not anymore! I got my hands on a T23 interior from a guy who upgraded to leather. Stuff was good as new! It's a nice anthracite / blue color.

Here's a pic of the new and old seats next to each other:



The rear was a straight fit. But the front seats are not. The T23 frame brackets are not the same, so I had a friend (he's a pro) take a look at it. He swapped the cusions and fabric onto my existing frame. It was a bit of work, but definately worth it.

And now the result:






Still needs to be cleaned, but what do you think? smile.gif

I don't suppose you could share a little bit more info on doing this (pics)? Looks the business.

njccmd2002, your write-up was very good, and it's indeed the same kind of swap! Sorry, not much to tell you because I had someone do the work for me. All I can tell you is that he chose to keep the gen6 frame (instead of modding the 7th gen frame) and put the gen7 cushions and fabric on there. Some minor modifications to the cushions were needed. And the fabric had to be tightened with some tools. The plastic around the cushions is also still gen6.
