Colin Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Right folks, here we go. Was making the usual "scrap yard challange" phone call's the other day, and happened to discover a mk6 GTi with the half leather interior up for sale near by and I was woundering.................. Right, now I know that the mk6 and the mk5b (my model), have different runners for the front seats, BUT would the back seats just fit in as a direct replacement? They should shouldn't they? What does the GTi come with on the front seats? Are they heated, maunal height adjustment etc, things like that, I would really like to know, as i've been offered it at a very reasonable prince (in my opinion), but was woundering what would you folks pay for it? Its just the seats, front and back................ so folks, any help would be great! And yes, if I get em, its gonna be getting trimed up to full leather too!
sortedford Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 yes mate cant see any reson why the rears would be different
Colin Posted February 17, 2003 Author Posted February 17, 2003 Good stuff, gotta give em a bell tomorrow then! Now just gotta get the welder out and make some subframes for the front seats!
T9BY G Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Yeh the rears will swap straight over but they aint heated and they are manual adjusted
Colin Posted February 17, 2003 Author Posted February 17, 2003 Good stuff, cause i want em in the car, and didn't wanna start messing around with wiring etc, how is it done, a pump or something?
Pelles Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 heero.... all im going to say is; best of luck getting the front 2 seats un-bolted!!! What a complete bitch they are! 4 bolts are extremely easy to take off....just 1 bolt that makes it a bitch, its underneath the carpet, underneath the rails, only thing that can touch it is a 10mm spanner...i put so much force into trying to turn it that the bolt is now circular :/ tis alot of hassle.....
Colin Posted February 17, 2003 Author Posted February 17, 2003 Well, heres hoping, gotta find out the hard way!
Pelles Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 if your bolts aint on as tight as mine, then it will be a breeze, but patience is needed with the damn thing lol...somthing that i completely lost with it
Lee R Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 my old mans GTi's seats have elecrtic height adjustment
RobRS1300 Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 how much they setting you back then heero?
Colin Posted February 18, 2003 Author Posted February 18, 2003 Was going to be £80 quid for the whole lot, front seats, back seats and all door cards, as the car has to be crushed for insurance reasons, but sadly it was a 5 door, so no good to me, but they have my number now, so just gotta be patient, they are the local Ford scrapper experts apparantly, cause i didnt even see anything other than the blue oval, even seen a Cossie engine sitting off to the side as well! Wheres my bag marked "swag" then................
Waxmonkey Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 Wheres my bag marked "swag" then................ Ross borrowed it, cos he drowns puppies as a lucrative sideline now. He can return it in 3 days though.
damien Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 just a thought mate. have you checked with your local ford dealer that 5 door rear seats fit in a 3 door ?
Colin Posted February 18, 2003 Author Posted February 18, 2003 Never thought of that....... if the backs fitted then the front wouldnt matter cause id have to make new runners for em anyways........... :suprise: One phone call for tomorrow!
