Does anyone know if the seats from a C4 will fit in a C3(1979) without a lot of modifications?

With some slight track modifications, you can easily mount C4 seats to the C3 tracks, and install them in your C3. You'll end up with a very comfy setup from what I understand.

from the looks of your avatar you're not afraid of a lot of modifications.

Yup... the front mounting holes on the C4 buckets do not line up with the front mount locations on the C3 tracks. You need to weld drill/tap some steel tabs to the C3 tracks to add the front mounting locations the C4 seats need. Other than that, it's not very difficult.
