Can the Toyota Tercel driver's seat go back any further?

I have a 1992 Tercel 2 door coupe and I need it to fit a 6 foot 1 driver. The driver's seat doesn't go back far enough so apparently knees are hitting the steering wheel. Is there a way to make it go back further, either an accessory kit that extends the rails or some other mount adjustment?

    This really depends on the laws in your area. For example, where I am you need to be registered as a manufacturer or re-builder to be able to modify the operation of a car's seats. Because of this, places charge a lot more than a 1992 Tercel is worth to do this kind of work. If you live in a location like this, enjoy the cheap gas and reliability until your knees wear away enough car to fit.

    maybe have a welding shop install some seat mounts further back? Should be cheap and relatively easy

    That's why they sell big cars. I'm 6' 1" too, and I just can't fit in that micro stuff.
