Default making seats from non hondas work

heres the deal. i am almost done converting my interior over to black minus the seats and carpet. my buddy who works at a local foreign salvage yard told me about these toyota paseo seats he came across in the yard that are almost mint and suprisingly are really nice. they only want 70 bucks for the pair and since im not gonna be having a back seat with the cage all i really need is 2 fronts. they are way nicer than my stock tan teggy seats and for 70 bucks its not bad. i wanted to know what i would have to do to make them work. i never messed with making seat brackets or anything so any help would be appriciated thanks.

Buy the seats.
Take off your seat brackets.
Put the original brackets on the new seats.
Add metal and drill holes so the old bracket lines up with the new holes.

If you can't weld, drill or cut metal then don't try it.

modifying seat brackets is pretty straight forward. stick the seat in there and stare at it until you figure it out. if all else fails just hit it really hard until it fits.
