Johns Summer of 69 14 Report post Posted February 15, 2018 I am getting close to needing to have all the items I need or want to replace for the interior of the car. So I found on Craigslist a complete set of 05-09 Mustang seats. Has anyone made this sort of swap before? I have searched but haven't come up with someone doing this exact swap. The driver has power options and I saw someone remove those pieces. Also my car is a coupe and so I'm not sure how to modify the rear seats to work. So should I just pass this great deal and go with some aftermarket option? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CG in TX 16 Report post Posted February 18, 2018 I installed 08 Mustang seats with TMI retro Mach 1 seat covers in my 69 fastback. I had to cut out the front seat platforms for the correct height. I love the look for a custom and much better than stock seats. 3 Reaper69, Shep69 and RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How did you reenforce the floor to support the seats? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CG in TX 16 Report post Posted February 20, 2018 Yes, cut out the risers, grind smooth, weld in a steel plate for extra support. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

69Stanger408 82 Report post Posted February 20, 2018 CG in TX - Assume you gained more head room as well? I am 6'7" so any new head room would be great. Do you have pics to share of the process, floor plates? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bryonbush 85 Report post Posted February 20, 2018 There’s a fella over on VMF who has a pretty good thread going on with this exact topic. He too had to cut and make new risers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have pics to share of the process, floor plates? Yes you will gain some headroom but at 6'7", headroom will always be an issue in a vintage Mustang. Sorry didn't take photos during the process but not hard to do. Cut out seat risers with a cutoff wheel or saws-all. Grind the area smooth. Weld in steel reinforcement where seats will be bolted to the floor. Position seats where best for you - mark, then drill holes for the bolts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
