dhise Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I've got this ej swapped '86 wagon and the drivers seat foam was deteriorating badly, so I came across some '07 wrx tr seats for cheap! Even though the drivers seat is height adjustable they still sit up a little higher, but it is such a more comfortable car now the height doesn't bother me. The old headliner was pretty ugly as well so I covered it with some nice grey material. After I finish making the interior real nice I might get to some body work this summer, but the sleeper look may win out! -Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Did you remove the old vinal headliner before you put the new one on, or was that just glue and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhise Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) Did you remove the old vinal headliner before you put the new one on, or was that just glue and go. I pulled the headliner out of the car and glued the new material to it. It was a bit of a pain in the rear but it looks so much better now. The braces had all separated from the roof of the car making for a rather noisy ride so I put some sound deadener up there while it was all apart too.

Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Did you have to modify the seat tracks any? or the seats themselves? Looks to be a nice swap, and one I might have to consider if I get this GL.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to be a nice swap, and one I might have to consider if I get this GL.. Three out of the four bolt holes were pretty close to existing holes. With a dremel and some bending I got them to work. The fourth, I had to drill and bolt to the floor with a small spacer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
