I've got the leather and foam from newer 9000's on the front seat frames of my '86 SPG. It took me less than 5 hours (combined- 1st seat took ~3hrs, the other one took about half that) split over two seperate occasions to remove a seat from the car, strip everything off of both donor and recipient, re-upholster the original seat frame with the new foam and leather, and replace the seat.
If you run across a good deal on nice seats, most (if not all) seats from any 900 or 9000 should fit just fine. I put the leather from a 9000 passenger seat onto my driver's seat, and the leather from a different 9000's drivers seat onto my passenger seat. One donor frame was full of electric motors, and weighed a ton- the other one was manual.
