The Interior
Here are just some pictures of the interior pieces. The seats, door panels and rear panels are in great shape. Especially for a 30 year old car. I'll just re-dye the vinyl and she'll be good as new! Not to mention the new billet interior pieces that will be going in and some new chrome trim. The headliner is in pretty good shape (white) but I think I will end up replacing it anyway.
I've decided I'm going to remove the heater. I'm only going to drive it in the summer, and with the Weber carb (no choke) it will be a pain in the cold anyway. I will however keep a windshield defogger fan. To make it more comfortable, I will be adding heated seats to take the edge off those chilly autumn nights. I will just install kits to each of the original seats!

Just a little dusty...
Oh, I will also be adding speakers to the headrests (fiero inspired) for better sound.

Oh, by the way, here is a picture of the 2 best kids in the WHOLE WORLD!! My son Tommy and my daughter Emma.
One day this will all be theirs!!!
