progress

well after not working on the mav for like a week i finally go to it yesterday
1)installed new gas tank:bananaman
2)installed seat rails
3)installed the driver's seat

i thought i could just bolt in the tempos seat rails
but i was wrong
but they bolted in after grinding off some of the leg things on the rails and drilling a new hole
and 2 new holes in the mav


now the next thing to do is to remove a piece of the catalic bulge and weld in a new piece of sheet metal


there is one problem though with using tempo seats-not enough rear legroom
but i wont be in the back:evilsmile

will post pics later-my camera wont focus right without alot of sunshine

 

heres a pic

 

these are the seat covers i'm going to be using

 

is that bolted in or just sitting in there?

 

I bought a set of pretty decent blue escort seats ( loback with head rests) , (the Ford built Escort) not the Mazda Built one Haven't had time to try the fit, They look alot like those Tempo seats but they were $25 for both so.... Hey I've lost more than that on slots before, this is gamble I was willing to try, they're in my basement waiting ,

 

its bolted on and it reclines and moves forward and backwards well

 

more pics

this is the piece that had to be grinded off
