So I didn't like the stock wagon seats, they were ripped and unconfortable so I bought some blue 1990 integra seats from a wrecking yard for 60 bucks which match my dash perfectly lol soon after setting the stock wagon seat and the Integra seat side by side. I realized that the rails were completely different as well as the seat pans. So I took one rail off the stock wagon seat and welded it onto the teg seat. to my surprise it turned out awesome and the seats don't just fit amazing they work! haha
heres some pictures!
start!

You gotta know what you're doing before you do it dumb dumb lol. But seriously, put the DX harness back in and we'll go from there. That's the only way to do it. You should NEVER use a harness from another car and use it on yours just for a swap, you should always modify the stock harness to be compatible with the motor you're running.

very clean wagon, don't take this the wrong way but they initially look so ugly and yet nice at the same time. what you've done to yours makes it all look nice. definitely an awesome transformation
