O.K. it wasn't long, heres the rest

So you see,
the bottom of the Geo is a flat mount, but the bottom of the Integra is not, flat on one side and 90* on the other.


Hard to tell here though.
On your left is a slider that bolts to the side if the seat, and keeps the seat belt latch as well. On the right is a plain slider that bolts straight up.


I disassemble the old seat to see how we can make this work.


I mate them together and see where to cut.


Let the fun begin.


I needed to stretch my legs after a few hours of cutting and fitting and testing and etc. (Don't you love my Second Amendment shirt?)


This is what happens to a 4.5 inch cutting wheel after several hours of noise.


Geez Grampa, aren't you done yet?


Tacked together, I will do the final welding tomorrow.
we are running out of daylight and its time to clean up and relax.


Doesn't everyone carry a Channel Lock bottle opener?

Some Observations;
Don't try this at home,
I am a trained professional.
Sometimes a task is way easier to Visualize than it is to Accomplish.
I may still have to buy seats.
I am pretty sure this will work.(but I've been wrong before)
I still have to do the other one.
I should start earlier tomorrow, before the sun gets really hot.(you can't see it but my biggest problem is sweat dripping in my eyes.)
My plan is to use the mounting metal from the Geo seat and weld it to the Integra mount and re-bolt that to the seat. Use some extra metal to strengthen it and support everything.
Any who, thats all for today folks.
Schultz out.
