Yikes.. At least it doesn't look like I'll have to pull that much out, haha. That's unreal.

Thanks for the tip. I'm trying to come up with a bit of a list at the moment. Once I do, maybe I can swing out your way, and see if we can make a couple things work.

The most important question appears to be "how well can you weld?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Thanks for the warm welcome! That does indeed appear to be the question, and the answer is currently, not as well as I will need to. I've got a few buddies who are much better than me. It looks like I'll be stocking up on beer as a payment method.

That's a good start. A lot of us have started our lost cause restorations with pretty sketchy welding skills and wound up with nice results.

BTW, I have the seat hinges I cut out of my car when I did a complete floor replacement. They are seized but I think with a good soak in penetrating oil and maybe some heat they might work as a free stop gap to prevent your seat from becoming the ejection variety while you enjoy your summer. Happy to pop them in an envelope to you. PM if interested.

Oh, didn't see an answer to your question about front seat attachment. There is a toothed ratchet gear/rack bolted to the floor cross member at the center of each seat (maybe just the drivers because I don't remember when the movable passenger seat was introduced). A pawl that is actuated by the seat height adjuster engages in those teeth and that is the front seat attachment.

Awesome! Thanks for the info. That's kind of what I figured for the front of the seat, but since it's a bit out of alignment, it was hard to tell. PM sent regarding seat hinges.

Yeah, it looks like the previous owner just hasn't pulled the listing. Also, was able to get a much better deal than that due to the amount of attention the car currently needs.

Awesome, thanks for the offer! I will probably need all the help I can get when I start stripping it down. Who knows what I'll find..
