Leather seats
Posted: Sun Apr 15, 2001 2:18 pm
While cruising a wrecking yard for the various interiior parts that were stolen from my 92 Legacy Turbo, I stumbled across a 98 Legacy Outback with dark gray leather interior.
As is typicalwith wrecking yards, they just stacked greasy axles and various junk parts all over the seats and left everything exposed to the elements all winter. I got the two front heated leather seats and the back seat for $75. There are a few tears and abrasions, but I have a plan....I also found a 98 Legacy LSi with a leather back seat in perfect condition exceptthat it was folded down and mildewed a bit from being exposed to the weather. The LSi leather is a lighter gray with a touch of mauve or lavender. I hope to dye the LSi rear seat and then have the Outback rear seat as a source of leather for replacing the panels with tears. I was absolutely delighed to discover that the 98 LSi back seat appears to appears be a 100% direct bolt-in to my 92 Legacy. The Outback seats have the word "Outback" embossed in the seatbacks, but I think I can get them real wet and massage that out. There are a few puckers where heavy and pointy objects sat on the wet seats for a while, but I think I can shrink those out too. My objective is to convert my 92 Legacy Turbo to leather interior for a total investment of $400. The only direct bolt-in leather interior I have ever known of was at a wrecking yard and they wanted $800, then the owner decided to keep it for his own Legacy Turbo. I'll keep you all posted.
