i'm not sure of any seats that are a direct fit. there are a few that have been made to fit but they usually require mods to the seat mounts, spacers, etc.

the 92 and later Tercel seats, the fabric ones, are really nice and can be made to fit without too much trouble. Same is also true of the first gen MR2 seats, which look really great in the T4wd. You have to adjust the angle of the mount by bending it, and sometimes drill a new hole in it in the correct place, but it is not a difficult job to make it work.

I have fitting a number of different seats to different cars, it not that difficult. At worst you would have to make a few brackets out of a piece of 1/8" steel or aluminum plate is easy with a drill, a hack saw and a vise to pound it into shape if you need to.

I drove on a milk crate for a week while my seat was getting recovered. Not the safest option for a seat replacement but for a temp it worked ok.
