You must miss it, huh? You've got others to help temper the pain though...

I'll be looking for 240 passenger seats with good foam to replace mine. I will either keep my interior upholstery which I really like the color and condition of (less happy about this after I found The Tear - check my other post in 140/160), or recover them in similar colored leather. Mine are really just fine the way they are, but I want leather eventually. The plate color code numbers won't match, but I hope to be the last owner of this car. I want to install an E-Brake/Seat Belt cover from a 240 with dual heated seat switches and then heat both seats with switches instead of the automatic heating that I have now.

I don't want to make a lot of obvious non-original changes. Maybe keeping the exhaust and emissions components (replace anything not working) and just putting some work into the head is the way to get another 20-40 hp from it. Definitely down-the-road stuff, but I'm a planner.

Thanks for your inputs!
