March 17, 201313 yr Alright so i have a 1981 dl 1.8 4 speed manual 4x4. The interior is to say the least ugly. I have done some searching on interior options. Didnt find to much. I did read on how to dye the carpets. Really what i would like to know is what seats would be the best choice. Id like to just replace the front and rear seats. Color isnt a big concern. Any ideas on what would or wouldnt fit?

They bolt straight on. I replaced the seats in the girlfriends '83 with some from a '92 and it made a world of difference.
