Just get new leather from MetricTLC and throw in some seat heaters while you're in there. There's no simple bolt in solution.

i dont have the money to buy new leather besides my seats foam is shot. theres a cheap junkyard near my house that has a buch of toyotas in it and i figured it would be cheaper to just put different seats in than to buy new foam and leather and recover them.
Pro Car seats. Same seats that Iron Pig offers. I believe they run 349 per seat plus the bracket. Not sure how well their colors match stock.
yeah, turns out nothing else fits.
I wish there was a way to get the seat from my KW semi (Seats Inc) to bolt up to my 80. Dont need the air ride but would be nice but not enough head room unless I leave the sun roof open and wear goggles
There's a guy selling in the for sale section some nice sparco seats with brackets that are drop in ready. Not tan or leather but works. Can go wrong with sparco, imo.

I would save your money and replace the seat foam and buy the leather from Shane..may not be the quick solution but it would be back to factory.. Another option is replace seat foam and get Spector Tuff Duck Covers....

If we could all figure out/ agree on a set of OEM seats (any manufacturer) that would go well in the 80, I would consider fabbing some low profile brackets to make it an easy bolt in; I've been thinking about this for a while.
Leather/pleather, manual, lower than stock, (don't like the "booster" effect of 80 seats). Something with reasonably high production numbers, etc. I've been eying some from Volvo that looked good. Need to do more research though.
Chime in please.

I'm open to any kind of suggestions. Post up some pics if you find something that looks like it would work.
My '01 GTI had seats I really liked. They were manual and had a manual lumbar support crank and a manual height adjustment. Pretty sure they were interchangeable with Golf and Jetta seats from '00-'04. VW made a ton of those things. Some had leather, some had cloth, some had seat heaters. Might be a good choice.

I loved the seats in my 96 GTI. Golfs and Jettas have much different seats.
Supra seats are very comfy and adjustable. I should of pulled one out when I had the Supra and see how much work it would be to convert one.
I have a set of tan leather 2nd gen 4runner SR5 seats that I got to swap into my LX450. I cant stand the stock seats but loved the seats I had 4Runner. Going to see how hard its going to be to adapt them. Oh they are manual so no more electric seat issues.

Someone posted up a set of newer Volvo seats they got to work. Not 100% sure who it was though.
Twotonic maybe?

Would be interested in what was used. Loved the seats in a CX70 i test drove a few months ago.
