couple questions

["Zach Vrooman" <zach@discover-net.net>]

Hi all. Here's my questions

1) My rocco has very little heat. What I do get is lukewarm, or slightly
above. This morning, I let it run to get some heat going (-20 below last
night) about 6-8 minutes or so, I don't remember. Anyway, I got in and
looked at the gauge, and the needle was about halfway up. I thought "HEAT!
YES!" Alas, it was not to be. I turned on the defroster and not much in the
way of heat. :(   So, I am taking this to mean my thermostat has gone the
way of the dodo. No problem, I have a stat and gasket (plus all hoses, I
figured WTF, only money.) How would a half-wit such as myself find out for
sure? I remember someone saying something about grabbing a hose to see if
it's warm, but I don't remember which hose. Can someone elaborate for me?

2)The driver's seat on my car was broken when I got it. After much
searching, my dad located one in CA. The seat is from a Wolfie. My '86
isn't a Wolfie, so the pattern isn't the same. The parts car I got last
summer has the sport seats, in the same pattern as my '86. My question is:
Is the upholstery(sp?) easily switchable? I ask because the driver's seat
in the parts car ALSO was broken, which I'd discovered AFTER I threw it
into my 86 :(
Hopefully it will, then I'll be that much closer to having the interior
finished. 


TIA,
zach
