Lots of Photos of my 94 blue SVX
Okay, by now you all know the saga of my trip to Charlottesville (the hardcover ) and my $500 leather seats I won on eBay. I woke up at 5:30 this past Tuesday to drive from Long Island NY to Ulster County NY and get the seats from a guy who bought a wrecked SVX at auction -- but the seats were great. I also got new visors, and a few other needed parts. My old rear seat and front seat cushions are available. Because my front seats are automatic and the others were manual I had to do a front cushion transplant -- what a pain! But the end result was really worth it.
I finished everything yesterday and before the SVX could get tree pollen all over it I grabbed my digital camera and headed for my local boat ramp. I bet the passerby thought I had the new subaru submarine or something. Thank God I remembered the parking brake and kept my eye on the incoming tide. Here are the photos: http://www.danwagner.com/svx/index.htm I think I might like to have the stationary side windows tinted blue -- that's where the sun bother's me the most and keep the movable pieces clear. Any advice it appreciated. My son's friends all think my ride has been pimped -- even before the seats. Funny thing because it looks pimped from the factory. One thing I like is that the seat bolts have plastic cover pieces. My 2006 Outback doesn't have this feature. Or they forgot to install them. I plan on checking into this. |

Great group of pics there. Nice car. What did you do with the old leather on the head rests and seats? Or, did they use it and add the blue to it? If you still have it, is it for sale?

I also have the tool kit from the donor car and the center console, shifter handle, parking brake handle, passenger window switch, and a few other minor items. I'm glad people like the photos -- they hide the usual rock chips and minor touch ups. |

Were your original seats manual and the new blue ones automatic? If so, you didn't have to remove the cushions. All SVX's are wired for automatic seats, no matter what kind you have. I have an L model with leather power seats out of an LSi model.
Looks good though.

Thanks. Did you do the PWR Radiator conversion? How do you like it and was it hard making it fit?

Seeing the new seats makes me want to get mine redone just like those, but I want the JDM logo's in the seat backs.
