[QUOTE="Ackbar00, post: 16273430, member: 22571"] Been a little while since my last update. First update is the best one :) I converted the seats last year to a set from a 2004, mainly because I got a killer deal on the fronts. $40. Wasn’t super keen on the tan, but I found a rear seat in the junkyard for $37, and they were LIGHTYEARS ahead of what was in it. I thought it looked nice, but I have been keeping my eye out for something else since then… Old Seats: [ATTACH=full]1594306[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1594307[/ATTACH] So on Stangbangerz, someone posted a 95 roller up for sale. Said it had some nicer black leather seats in them. Saw some pics and asked how much. $50 for the front and rear!! Cut me a hell of a deal. Rears are from an 04, but the front are from an 05 Mustang. They were a bit more tricky to fit the 69 rails, but with spacers and a drill anything is possible. New Seats. SOOOOOOOO much better.
