Default Front seat fix

So my fat fatty friend stretched back in the passenger seat the other day, and apparently the front part that bolts to the floor was pretty rusty, because it snapped. Now the thing wobbles back and forth. I've PB blasted the nuts, and will hit up the junkyard soon. Should I be looking to just drop in a whole new seat, or is that bottom section easy to separate out?

No idea, but I suggest doing it on your friend's dime, either way. =P

It wouldn't be hard replacing the track unless you just want new seats lol. Either way let fatty walk next time lol

Yes, the pans are weak. My drivers side broke down the whole side. You can find new bottom section at jy. I just welded mine back and reinforced with steel. It will do until I find seats I like.
