I am looking forward to seeing this build progress. Can only imagine what you will come up with that will leave us all wanting one.

And away we go.......................................

I spoke with my flooring vendor in Australia this morning and they will push and make me a vinyl kit as soon as they can. I haven't seen the new vinyl from them yet. When they bought out the other company in Queensland and moved there the vinyl portion was the main reason for the buyout. I'm looking forward to seeing it. They say it is much more defined than their older version.

I also ordered the Corbeau Sport seats X 4 seats should be here in a couple of weeks. I'll add these to the old seat rails. They are about 3/4" wider than the stock seats. So not much of a loss for the new center consoles in front and rear.

They should fit very similar to the Volvo S70 seats I had in a previous 60. They are close in dims. It'll be quite awhile before they get fit.

A link to these S70 seats ??

 

[Beams37]

They are S70 model Volvo seats. Here is a pic next to each other and my old Blue Marley thread.

Another 85 fj60 Blue #2??

This look comfy and MUCH more supportive. Thanks for sharing.

The Volvo seats are one of the best seats I've ever used as a replacement. They are hard to find, especially in the full mechanical version. I'm a bigger guy, 6'-3" and 250# and they are perfect for me.

The Corbeau are similar in comfort.
