Well. That's all for now. Plans on fixing the front, then lowering it with 3" blocks and loosening the torsion bars & more.

Sweet setup, man. I might be able to let a few parts go in order to get the front end looking a little better. Let me know what you're looking for and I'll see what I can actually let go!

Did the seats mount up easy? And did them seem to give you a little more room?

Very easy. The front mounted into factory holes and I put in some sel-ftapping metal screws in the back into the floor. They're down pretty good. & I'm not sure about more room but a hell of alot more comfortable and look better IMO.

holy crap man! thats insane!

If your back in here and check this again, do you mind filling me in on what year of Geo those seats came from???

I pulled some from a Plymouth Breeze (aka dodge neon) that are VERY comfortable, yet are seated too high and cram my legs into the steering wheel!

Thanks.

I think it was a 93, but not 100%. They also sit higher but comfortable.

Dude! that's f'ed up $hit. Hate to hear that.
Sounds like grounds for an a** stomping. Seems like you just can't get a break.
On a side note, there is a nice KC for sale in Savannah for $1200. good straight body. I may try to buy it if it stays there awhile. Been there almost a month now.
