After market seats
Does anyone have recommendations for after market seats for a 240. I have an 89 wagon and the seats are trashed. I'm having trouble finding any at scrap/salvage yards and other usual places. Even if I find any they are still 20+ years old.
What are my options?

I think I'm safe in saying that most of us on this forum find the stock Volvo seats to be one of the best features of these cars. I'd be surprised if you could find aftermarket seats that were better, or even as good, unless you're talking about Recaros or something like that, which are a lot more money than having yours re-done. Don't know where you live, but here in Houston the wreck yards are full of 240 seats and most are in decent, or at least recoverable condition. I replaced the trashed vinyl seats in my '89 240 wagon with some cloth ones I got out of a sedan. Bolted right in, and as a bonus I got the center armrest out of the same car. Even if you can't find the same color, you can always have a 20 year old seat re-done in whatever color you want. Good upholstery shops can work wonders.
PDX, I assume in are in Portland, OR. Many Volvos there and the JYs (U-Pull-It) are full of 240s. Drivers' seats are hard to come by in decent shape but get the cushions/covers from passengers seats and adopt them for the driver's, not hard a project.
