Interior Pic Thread

I've searched all over and can't find any thread with strictly pics of the interior of people's SA's or FB's.....more specifically people's seat choices.

Surely throughout the years one has been started? If not can you guys please post a pic of your either recovered or swapped seats in your first gens? That will be my next focus once I have this interior back together and these seats just aren't going to cut it.

What year and color interior are you shooting for?

I'm sure there are some proud owners who will show you how it's done.

Don't first gen Miata seats bolt in? It would be real cool to have the kind with the speakers in the head rests.

nothing specific. I'll probably try to keep it looking as factory as possible for the most part but the drivers side seat that came with the car is a bit janky. A little extra side bolster could benefit these seats as well.

I figured anything out of miata would be a good fit space wise in the SA, direct bolt in just makes it that much better!



Nice work TG! Those covers look great!

Here are some pictures of a stock 79 Limited interior. I can take more specific ones if you want. Originally, LE's came with Grey Velour inserts on the door panels and seat faces. It wrapped up around the sides at the top, something unique to this model only. The seat backs had a blueish / black knit fabric on the rear and the normal black vinyl around the sides of the seat bottoms.

What set the Limited's apart from all the other 79's was the Beat Black paint (never used on any other model) w/the special pin stripes, the modified waffle wheels, the up graded 4 speaker stereo system with an Amp under the passenger seat, leather covered steering wheel and shift **** and the B-pillar badges. Otherwise, it was just a GS equipped model with the Sunroof option and Air. They also had the digital clock.

Thanks Banzai! I havent quite decided if I am going to make it look like the factory LE or not as its missing ac/heat components, factory radio & bezel etc. I definitely want to keep it period correct at least (as of now anyway) and may end up going full LE mode.

My issues with the seats (or drivers seat anyway) is I think the side bolster or something with the manual adjustments are broken because the seat does not sit like it should.




Has anyone ever installed the classic low back buckets...something like these below?
