seats and a small loss of a dream (sort of not really)

And Finally on the “good news bad news” category, the interior of the Chrysler 300 we had gotten is going to kind of work and no not at all!!  LOL!!  The rear seats are looking good:

  

Here is the seat without the necessary bracing that Mike had to fabricate:

 and the bracing for under the rear seat portion:

 

 And the seat with the bracing in place

 

But the all power front seats that have a memory that adjusts to whomever program it, will not work.  And while the front seats LOOK great; I guess we are missing the module to make that memory work and the wiring is entirely too complicated for this poor little girl, SO….  enjoy these mock up photos because....

 

We are going to use the front seats from a 2005 Sebring Convertible!

They are completely manual, no airbags, and not only have the shoulder seatbelt integrated into them, they will also allow passengers into the back seat.  The 300 was a 4 door car and we knew the seats would never really allow easy access to the rear seat, but with just us the back seat is not going to be used a whole terrible bunch, so it was a sacrifice we were willing to make!  However, it was not meant to be, so we went with slightly less posh seats, and all will be re-covered to match and look fabulous!!
