Possibly, although to be honest I was going to offer you the head. Would depend on how much it would cost to make up?

well I'm all about doing things on the cheap haha. I have two ECUs and know of a wrecker who has another, it looks like I've been able to find out a source for the ECU plugs but I was considering hard wiring the ECU in if I had to.

If you're going to offload the head I coud be keen later on perhaps, that is if I let the DASH engine go with the white coupe.

So I did some work on the bro'ject...
Ripped all the carpet and underlay out, all the interior pieces I didn't want, Installed both front and rear strut braces as well, put the ash try back in. Put the front bolster on the drivers seat although that doesn't make it any better!
Gave it a quick vacuum although needs a wipe out with something to get rid of the grease.
On the plus size I found $2.20 in change in the car so I really only paid $817.80! rofl

LOL passanger one is OK but the drivers one is poked... the bottoms collapsed, the dorr side bolster is worn through badly and the steel framing pokes you...
Going to look at some race seats, want either blue or red, fixed back buckets, wide one for me and normal for my partner.
Also want to find a nice dished steering wheel...

If you're looking for some cheap temporary seats, & you don't need regular access to the back seat, (because they dont tilt very far forward) then 81-86 Sigma seats will bolt straight in as both the Sigma & Starion have identical seat mountings. They do however sit about an inch higher, which is OK if you're short. Wreckers sell velour seats in good condition for under $100 / pair.
