72 duster Build progress
Little bit of an update here everyone!!!
so I sold my bench seat awhile back to another fabo member and I have been searching for bucket seats since..... no junk yards around here had ANYTHING like I wanted....I wanted black leather and would prefer power....all anyone had close to that was tan or grey leather and even then they were in less than nice shape and they wanted a ton of $$$ for them....and for some reason my local junkyards don't know how to roll windows up before ripping the battery out....and rain fills the interior aswell as critters and what not.
ANYHOW .....I was just getting ready to order a set of summit racing bucket seats.....and then I found an ad on craigslist about 2 hours away from me....so I went and picked up a NEW set of bucket seats!!!!
The best part is....the guy wanted $200.00 for them which was already pretty cheap and I got him to take $100.00 for the pair!!!
There exactly what I had been looking for....there Black leather power seats from an 08 Acura TL Type S.
He got them from his buddy who worked for the manufacturer and if anything related to the seat airbag wiring did not meet the manufacturers standards they were instructed to throw them in the trash....so he had been taking them home and stock piling them lol.
they were power , heated and had side air bags but I undid all the heated seat wiring and air bag wiring because I will only be driving in the summer and I didnt want to accidentally hit a wrong wire and pop an air bag.
so all I have to do now is make up some seat mounts to match up to my floor pan, run a 12v circuit and route my power seat wires and Ill be in business!!!....
$100.00 is a score I think for what these are....what do you guys think?
