When i got this car, it had this disgusting rotting carpet that smelled awful...I had to replace it so I did...

After about 10 hours and 4 razor blade cuts...i got all the new carpet in...it looks, smells, and feels amazing compared to that old stuff.

So I have finally finished the seats and I'm about to start converting the inteirior to all black due to the response in my poll (plus I got all the plastic pieces from a junkyard for $30 haha) I will put pics up soon.

hey about the wheels on your car i saw a comment you posted a long time ago about these wheels saying you were looking for them, well i have the same wheels and i was planning on having them fixed how much did it cost you to have yours re polished and do you know where i could get a center cap for them.

I am restoring one with same color combo., Champange w/pearl white interior. Want to keep mine original, sell me your white interior if you are to replace it with black.

Love the car! I'm picking up a '78 Z this week and plan to do some work on it. The paint is shot but the body and engine are solid.

Nice Z Chris, I have a 78 280 and live about 1.5 hours east of Nashville. Still working on getting mine painted before spring, it is completely in primer at the present. I like the silver color yours has, but I think I will go back the original wine red. The company I work for has a sales office in Brentwood and I drive down about twice a month. I plan on driving the Z down a few times when the weather fairs up, so maybe I will see ya around Nash Town in the Z.

Take care!

Love your car. Hope you're still progressing. Have you completed the swap to black interior? If so, I may b interested in buying the white interior pieces.
