Dominik from Zurich, Switzerland has been in touch with me regarding original seats. He apparently found my pages on how to install Honda seats.

He wrote me the following today and I wonder if anyone could help him out with seats or advice on the GMC in Toronto. I suggested that he join the GMCNet.

"I'm going to see a GMC on the 14th in Toronto - From Zurich, Switzerland.
I had no luck fonding someone in Toronto to take along. I was willing to pay this person The time spent and something for gas, but I didn't get any answer. This was a bit confusing since I was told by a GMCer to just ask for help and there will be help.

Half of the Black List people have moved address and phone numbers, the other half don't seem to be bothered about a shout from me. Not even a "No".
I've heard of another person exchanging their original seats for Honda minivan seats (sorry, got it wrong before), but they all seem to scrap the seats. I'm assured this Canadian got the idea from Odyssey disabled conversion original seats from you.

They don't look out of place, but I prefer the look of the original ones you threw away.
Going thru your pictures I saw the pictures with the trash can.

Is there a chance, that if I'd buy this vehicle, that you could note on your website, that I'll be inteested in two seats like you threw away - you know, the ones with plastic back and armrests that fold out of the outer seat base...

And if you've got a few patronizing words for me, please go on...

Here's the one I'll see in 13 days:

I'm a bit puzzled by the steep price - the seller told me it sat for 15 years, so many things need to be done. It has Alcoas, and the windshields seem to be crack free, but the rest could be just a huge restoration waiting, and that is worth CAD 6,500 ?

I don't mind spending a week on his lot before driving off the first time - I'll go to Canadian Tire and get parts and tools, but then the price should be more reasonable ? May I ask your opinion ?

Thanks,

Dominik"
