put some new pics up in the album showing the state of filth and ghettoness of my car. decided to keep the car, fix the holes in the roof and get a new vinyl top put on. i just can't wait to get the interior back together. it smells a little funky too from being wet all the time.

that is a great show... Original episodes where none of his projects used to work were better. The new ones seem as though everything he does works out... Its funnier when he fails miserably.
86delta, I think you made a good choice. Your car is relieved aswell I think  What all do you have to do to fix the holes in the roof?

haven't figured out how i'm gonna fix the holes yet. most of them are pretty small but i have one that is around the size of a quarter. probably some epoxy or something like that.

I really like the seats you've got in there... How much did they end up costing you to buy? I really want to get something different into my car.

they are from a 90 88 royal, i got them for $20 because i knew the kid who's car it was. a real bitch to put in though because my car originally had a full bench seat. you should look into tan leather buckets from a bonneville. i know there are alot of hunter green bonnevilles out there with tan interiors, shouldn't be too hard to find.

I remember when I found a set... for 300 bux in perfect shape, at a car parts flea market. I came back 1/2 hour later with cash, and their booth had gone home.
Never knew who they were.
I'll continue searching. Any estimate on what a junk yard might charge me for them?

Same thing happened to me, at the local junkyard. They had just, and I mean just, got an 87 ciera and it had the center consol with floor shifter, and bucket seats in perfect condition. I already had everything unbolted and ready to take out but I had no cash. I asked them if they could reserve it and they said no.....so I went home as fast as I could and got back as fast as I could, and ran to the car, they were gone. I was SO pissed!!
