Default rear seat replacement ideas

so yesterday i was adding a 3 in. lift and had a leaf spring bolt freeze inside the bushing.... well i got out the trusty tourch and began heating up the sleeve to expand it and pull the bolt out. half way through i notice something drip, i look up and the inside of my jeep is full of smoke. luckly i always have a fire extinguisher inside my jeep. turns out i had a little rust hole i never knew about and that caught some carpet under the seat on fire and burned a little of the bottom of the seat and melter a little of the side panel where the cup holder is.......
its an 89 2 dr.

I did get the lift on.....

now onto my question after that rather embarrassing part. what can i do with the back seat. any ideas?
I could go to a junk yard and get a new one and a panel.
or i can just take the seat out and start a new project.

The fronts don't unless you fab some brackets. The rear will work in any year xj. Check the link in my signature. It's a decent amount if work, but worth it imo.
