BJ73 1985 What did the original seats look like? (1 Viewer)

[Felde]

My 1985 BJ73 has seats from an LJ mounted.
Those are due for a rebuild, though. As I have to go for it, I consider having the covers done to match the original design.
- Can anybody provide me some pics on what the original seats looked like?
My interior is light grey vinyl.

Thanks and Best regards
Felde

Probably the same as the 75 series grey . The 73/74 series had cloth seats in most markets, but the PZJ7* that come into Australia in 1990 had grey vinyl seats and floor

1987 BJ75. These are original (except for one small repair that you won't see).

My JDM BJ70 (1985) had the same exact seats.

They were the original “heated and cooled seats” and were very advanced considering the time frame.

They also had a built in no-slip feature if you were wearing shorts from 1985.

Hehe. Maybe that's why the covers are mainly ripped now. But ya. Shorts were great that time. I was 13..

I was younger than 13 but will never forget hot vinyl seats!

The only seat cover with its own mascot.

What kind of other seats fit in a 73? I may be buying a 1988 bj73 and it Has some sort of ugly recaro style seats. Will seats out of a seam your Celica work or maybe out of a late 80s Toyota pick up?

The seat rails of the BJ70/73 are not level left to right. And we need the swing function to the back. To my knowledge only seats from a 78/79 (may) bold in straight away.
