Here's my "stock" interior. It's all MC parts, but not all 85. Mixed some 88 parts in there to get the look I wanted. I like the black plastic better than the grey and woodgrains that GM used up until 85. Still waiting on the white gauge faces to show up, I'll post after install is done.
These are the white faces that I'm waiting on. I've already put red bulbs in the dash. A little different, but a huge improvement over the stock instrument panel. Interior is a little too dark with all the black and oxblood.
Finally posting pics of my white gauge faces. First problem was they never got shipped, had to reorder from somewhere else. Had a few probs, nothing major. Broke my Volt needle, time to go junkyarding. Gas gauge is little crooked, I'll redo that one. And the gauges were off a little afterwards, but I fixed all that. Hope u like it, I do. Now I need black needles because the orange is hard to see with red backlight.
I had to use these wheels. They belong on MC's and look so much better than steelies. First tires I ever mounted and balanced, turned out good. NO vibrations. I've put the steels back on my 88 that I'm selling. It is Black Cherry with Oxblood interior.
This is the donor car for the wheels and the interior pieces. Not too bad of shape. But, the engine bay was seriously molested and all emissions are gone. Along with the OE air cleaner and alot of other items that I planned on putting back on. Obviously my plans changed.
Here's why I'm selling my 88. The rear bumper cover and taillights. I like this style way better. Sort of. I like the newer 87-88 rear bumper cover but the 81-85 taillights. I also got a heck of a deal on this car and it's silver. How could I go wrong. Here's a poor pic of how small my garage is. It's even got a kickout on the sides. Good thing I have access to Mom's garage. It's much bigger and I can park 2 cars there and still work. Lots of room for winter projects.
Update 7-7-06
The 88 wheels are back on the 88 and I've got the SLP ZR1s now. I had Goodyear 245-45ZR17s but changed to BFG G Force Sport 255-45ZR17. Handling is so much better than with the 15s. Looks a lot better now also. Heres a pic with the GoodYears that were used freebies for test fit.
