what volvo did that come off of

Justin-xxx

So I didn't like the stock wagon seats, they were ripped and unconfortable so I bought some blue 1990 integra seats from a wrecking yard for 60 bucks which match my dash perfectly lol soon after setting the stock wagon seat and the Integra seat side by side. I realized that the rails were completely different as well as the seat pans. So I took one rail off the stock wagon seat and welded it onto the teg seat. to my surprise it turned out awesome and the seats don't just fit amazing they work! haha
heres some pictures!
start!

teg seats

Wagon seat rail.

I took a picture of the wrong side haha sorry! think backwards haha

Thanks a bunch man I have a ton of parts on the way also and getting a z6 today

I removed the metal clips that hold the glass to the plastic housing with a flat head. (be careful because the glass chips easily) 22 year old lights haha.

Then I took a heat gun and ran it back and worth over the seam. till it got pretty hot (it doesn't take much) then took a flat head screw driver and pried the glass from the housing very slowly (if the glass doesn't come off super easy the glue needs more heat)
