Hello,

I have a 1981 245 that took on a little water in the recent Houston flood. No engine or electrical damage, just smelly carpet! Here's my question:

I just so happen to have access to a dead 1983 (also a 245) parts car.... the carpet in it is in very good shape. Is there any reason that I can't swap the carpets? How difficult is it to install the carpet?

And another question, although not related to flood damage: The driver's seat in my 1981 is quite worn out and uncomfortable, as is the driver's seat in the 1983; the *passenger* seat in the '83, however, is in very nice shape. Is there any reason that I can't put a passenger seat on the driver's side, other than making the access to the seat tilt knob rather inconvenient? I mean, supposing I'm willing to deal with that, will it fit? Any safety issues?

Thanks,

Stephen Buckley
