hey guys, getting a little tired of the Lane seats in my EL wagon, so i was scrounging ebay and came across a set of BA sedan seats and Door trims.
i am interested in fitting these, how hard would it be?
anybody had any experience with this, not so concerned about the seats, maybe the rear seat, might be a bit of a b**ch.
more so about the door trims, how would i go about the linkages, locking ect.
the more i think about it the more i think, why not just go the dash too?
but that might be a job for later down the track.
might just buy a smashed BA or something and do a whole conversion.
what do you guys think.
the moneys there, as i was going to purchase a turbo, but have recently been givin an EL V8 for 200 bucks.
so i have chosen to go down the V8 road instead.
i remember seeing a red Boxcar on here a while ago with the full BA interior.
would be good if i could find that again and perhaps talk with the member.
cheers.

Sure you wanna do that? All the fabrics from the BAs are crap (even Fairmont, XR fabric is good though). Ultra el-cheapo feel and too much friction (not easy to get in and out).

O, and I'd imagine pretty hard. Rails, etc.
