Default Helping son replace seat

Hope someone can help.

My son saved enough cash to buy a 1998 6-cylinder Mustang. The front
driver's seat has just broken. It now has only one position -- laid all
the way back.

I called my usual mechanic and he told me it would be cheapest for me
to find a seat at a wrecking yard and install it ourselves. Since we're
lacking a bit in mechanical know-how, is this something that is easy to
do? It's a manual power seat, if that helps.

Are there any books or websites that would show how to do this?

HI Tina!
As a mom, I want to do something for you.

I owned a 95 GT then a 98 Cobra, loved them but no longer have either.
I have the Ford service tech on CD and will be more than happy to mail it to
you if you'll give me an address.

Now, I realize that you may be hesitant, you don't know me from Adam, but if
you ask in the Group, seriously, they'll vouch that Im a kook, but not a nut


Just one mom, trying to help another.

Tell your son, I said GOOD JOB!!!

Kate

Oh, swapping the seats is not hard. 4 bolts and a wiring plug underneath.
You must be very careful when taking it out or you can scratch the door
panels with the seat mounting hardware.

I sent a reply to your address with my email address on it.

I heard Kate was a serial killer of single moms.


Just joking, Kate, that's nice of you to help! That's the kind of thing that
makes me happy to be an American!

Hey! I found that there Mustang killer under a cabbage leaf!
She in turn, hatched a future car killer methinks...

She was nonspecific in her victims though, she killed a GEO, a Honda, the
Mustang, two Dodges, a Fiesta, a Camaro a Toyota and I think her last victim
was another Honda. The body count continues to grow. Not all of them were
wrecked, but as far as I know all but one had been crunched in one way or
another.
But DANG - she sure is a purty thing!

Wow, writing it out like that gave me the heebie jeebies!

Do I recall correctly that there is a difference between the seats in
a coupe vs a 'vert? And if so, should this be pointed out so she
doesn't get the wrong seats?
