A desperate plea for help

In the next few days, my middy is going in for an engine conversion and I'm getting troopy bench seats put in at the same time so I only pay for one eng. cert. Problem is, after calling every wrecker in victoria, I've only found 1 shitty set of seats. I'd really like to put in some clean ones from a 78 series.
"Throw me s fricken' bone here"
I know this message belongs more in the wanted section but any leads / suggestions would be great.
Maybe I could get the poo brown ones re - covered but then its not really worth the cash
Thanks guys

priced brand newies from toyota?
also have a look through the ads in the back of any 4x4 mag, there are a few places around who sell extra seats for the back of station wagons etc, they might have similar seats for sale to suit your purposes.
good luck

Hey dude,
Me olds prolly will sell their seats, but the mounting is different for the front and the back, they want to keep a set, but he is not sure which ones...
He is gunna ring around the wreckers and see what they are worth though...
People that have done this before, which seats did you use and how hard was it...

I tried the brand new option. Toyota sells all its seats in parts. Just the metal frames and bolts to mount troopie seats would be $600 plus. Then you need belts and seats / backrests!!! Crazy
I'll start thumbing through old magazines and see what I can find.
Just did one final ring around all the wreckers to no avail... I think they're sick of me now!
