94 cobra seat install!
3 Attachment(s)
Yup, not sure if any of you noticed my other thread about finding these seats in the Lounge, but I just got the passenger side installed and am pumped! It worked out amazingly well, the only thing wrong is it sits a little high, so im going to lower the pedestal. (sheetmetal under the seat) Anyway, it looks good and feels alot better than the old seat. Im still not sure what i'll do with the drivers seat yet, since its power and the rails are quite a bit different. If anybody wants to know more just let me know! (oh yeah, and I will be taking the headrests out, as soon as i figure out how...)

Well I ripped out the carpet to lower the pedestal, which revealed some ugliness from the previous owner, and rust. So now I will be ordering new floorpans this week...ugh. (The big hole is what was under that ghetto sheet metal "thing")

Re: 94 cobra seat install!
Does you cowl leak??
With all the rust on both front floor boards, I'd check pretty close. |
Re: 94 cobra seat install!
Yeah, im pretty sure it does. Not sure if im going to do something about the cowl now or wait until I paint it. Im going to coat the floor pretty heavy with some paint from my parents shop, they have some really heavy duty crap. (cant remember what its called off the top of my head...) Where does the cowl enter the interior? I'll have to dig around more. I've thought about blocking off the cowl vents when I do paint it, mostly since it would look better (smooth) but I would imagine that would help me out with the water too. Any suggestions on this would rock, thanks guys.
______________ I just found a pretty good article from mustang monthly which shows cowl repair/replacement. I dont think I'll be able to do this until I start stripping my car for paint. Should be only a year or two so it shouldnt be too bad. |
Re: 94 cobra seat install!
What kind of modifications are you having to do to the car to get those seats to fit in there?

Re: 94 cobra seat install!
Do you know how to fix the cowl because I know mine leaks because I found out the hard way. I took the car wash and I found all my leaks (front and rear windows, side windows-all,cowl,heating tubes,doors,trunk) and there is nothing like getting sprayed in the face by a high pressure spray and swimming in the floor boards and punching a drain hole in the trunk to drain it. I'm sure the gas station had problems with the vaccuum later I made it into a wet/dry vac sucking the water from the interior.hehehe

Re: 94 cobra seat install!
That cowl repair looks like a pain in the ass for someone that has never done it before. I think I might someone else do this for me. I dont do bodywork that great.
That floor pan looks like fun for you to do. Loved the patch job previous owner did. looks like it used to be a sign.lol |

Figured I'd give you guys an update, its been awhile... I have both the drivers and passengers side replaced, though both still need more welding. (Passengers side only has several tack welds) Definately took longer than I expected, though I havent really put that much time into it, just finding that time lately has been pretty tough. After I get all the welding done I'll grind it all smooth, put a healthy dose of epoxy on it, then some new sound deadener and put it back together!! On a side note I also have pretty much all the parts to get my t5 in finally, so once the floors are done that will be next, along with my electric fan. I actually have a decent paying job now, so its been nice to be able to order new parts.
_______ Also, does anybody know a good way to recondition black leather seats, the grey stress marks make them look pretty bad to me... |
