Interior Refresh & Seats
Posted: Sat Jul 09, 2016 6:41 pm
I'm probably not the only Trans am owner who would like to give the car a spirited drive, but can't purely because I end up the other side of the cabin if I get too enthusiastic - the standard seats may look ok but they are useless.
After a long search, I found some seats that could be fitted relatively easily. not too much metalwork required to make a set of adapter mounts, and with a little subtle rework of the leather (giving them piped edges and a few horizontal stitches to resemble the period Trans Am seats), they look the part for me.
While at it I ditched the old underlay, gave the cabin a lining of adhesive sound/heatproofing foam mat, then fresh underlay, refitted the carpets and love the result.
If anybody else is considering a seat change, look our for a pair from a Mk1 Audi TT.
