Driver's seat fix?
I have an opportunity to buy a 1986 420 SEL. I love everything about the car, except the seats. The driver's seat is so soft that I slide around every time I make a turn. The passenger seat is soft as well, but not as bad. Can the driver's seat and the passenger seat be swapped? It looks like they could be - the seat belt receiver woudl just have to be remounted on the other side. Has anyone ever done this? Any other ideas? Thanks.
