Buckets for 80 series

Franga,

see post Site Link

Matt has been working on replacing his seats as well

Cheers Kev

Franga,

Just to compare, I got a set of GXK buckets from a 100 series for my 105 pov pack from a wrecker (who are notoriously expensive compared to the private market, here in melb) for $550. They were in reasonable nick, with the pass seat hardly used, but the drivers had a crack in the vinyl on the side of the seat and the bottom cushion was a little flat. Local auto trimmer charged $150 to fix the drivers seat (replaced vinyl section and added some padding to the bottom cushion), so for $650 a very good set. Remember this was from a later model, so the 80 series should be a little cheaper I would guess, depending upon where you are....

Hope this is a reasonable comparison...

Cheers

Mark

Ps Mate of mine bought a pass side 80 series bucket recently for $150 and $50 for the console.

I too paid $550 from wreckers. I think $660 is a fair price if in good condition. Are these from a friend? Do you know their history? The driver's seat I bought was twisted, I think it came from a vehicle that had been in a crash. I primarily bought them so the wife didn't have to sit on that crappy 3/4 seat.

As for comfort, I didn't find the driver's seat any more comfortable; it's the same shape just with cloth trim.
