Or get a seat and have it trimmed to your liking?
I brought a pair of Cobra Clubmans and re-covered them with Lilac vinyl..
Not that hard.. make a paper template.. cut out the vinyl to match.. stitch together..
I know... a poor excuse to show the picture again..

Look at the bottom of this page...
I know nobody's going to import these for the money it would cost, but surely they can't be that hard to make can they?

like said with some fabricating anything will fit, iv just managed to put a leather seat out of a skyline into my 90. a bit of bending, some braketry, and some hole drilling was all that was needed.

Re-trimming seats is not rocket science.. it just takes a bit of practice and some time..
The complete interior took about 100 hours.. (including roof and rear panels, door cards, arm rest etc) The vinyl costs about £300 for the entire truck.
I was quoted £3000 to have a comapny trim it for me.. so by comparison its cheap..
Here's another Ive almost finished..
The drivers seat aint finished yet.. These are not covers.. the seats are re-trimmed and the blue vinyl is fixed to the seat..
Im in Swindon, Wiltshire if ever you fancy a trip over and a cuppa and a lesson

Half way through fittting some leather front seats out of a Hyundai Coupe into my Samurai this weekend. Some bodging and welding but they do look the part. Why the runner and fixing set up is different on each side is beyond me, at least I did the less easy side (passenger) first.

MK4 SPAM GTi seats in mine, was a bit of a faff to weld up and fit to the SJ runners as the SPAM has a front centre mount, but they're very comfy and supportive, no back ache after a long day in them.
And the SPAM seats were a massive 99p off eblag and local too, happy days.
