7g seats in a 95 gts. Will you they fit??

[cheela]

I don't think they will fit a 95 without some modification or welding.

If you can find the 96-99 seat rails, it'll bolt right up to them.

I'll make them fit!!

From '94-99 the holes in the floorboard are the same, just how the seat pans are and how the rails are changed along with the belt buckle. Can't remember exactly, but I think the thing to do is take the 7GC seat back and it fits directly onto the frame and then use the 7GC cover and cushion on the '96-99 seat pan/rail.

If not I can just plug weld them to the floor.

Are 96-99 Camry seat pans the same by chance? I'm guessing not...

Swap the seat pans and that's it.

It'd be easier to try and get the 7GC pans onto the '94-95 rail than trying to get the 7GC rail to work with 6GC floorpans.

[doory100]

Maybe a couple washers or somethig to lift them up? I got both seats in great shape for $30 CAD!!

To use 7gc seats with 94-95 seat rails, there is some cutting and welding required. It's easiest to find a set of 96-99 seats to use as donors for the seat pan and rails. The Camry seats would make even more work than using the 94-95 rails.

You don't have to weld. I just swapped pans over in mine and it worked well.

For the 94-95 seats, you need to do some welding. The seat pams are completely different from the facelift seats.

The 96+ seats are much easier to work with, just bolt the 7gc seat cushions to the 6gc seat pan and rails.

When I did mine I didn't weld at all and I have 94 seats. I just swapped the pans over and made them work. I don't remember exactly what I did bit I know I didn't weld.

Perhaps drilled the pans out to match the rails? Would be my thought anyway.

[1994Celica]

Maybe I honestly don't remember exactly. My dad helped me with it, I know for sure we didn't weld. I know we didn't weld, as I know we used my 94 seat pan. I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow of it.

I once tried replacing cushions on my '95 seats, but the replacement cushion was for '96-99. How they changed the cushions it just wouldn't work, most of the cushion would've needed shaving away to maybe fit.

probalby easiest way would be what box said, drill out the pans to match.

The seat back is a straight forward swap. When i did mine, I only removed the upholstery from the 7thgen and placed it over the 6th gen cushion. Nice and tidy and less then 2 hours of work for both seats to be done.
Anyone telling you to cut/weld/drill to make it work, obviously never tried for themselves (no offense intended)

[1994Celica]

Took pics of mine. I'm pretty sure I used the 7th gen cushion on the 6th gen seat pan. I didn't drill and I didnt weld. Here's pics of my passenger seat.

That's because your car apparently already had '96-99 seats.

That's why we've all obviously swapped seats in our cars at one point or another.
