Anyone ever transplanted a complete interior from 4th gen to 3rd gen?

Not particularly into the seats, but the dash,door panels and center console. So far i have a Center console from a 94 Z28, tan leather door panels from 99' Z28. Im doing a search for dash and other accessories that are needed. Anyone ever done this? I remember someone did this conversion in his GTA, but anyone did this to a camaro?

And if you have something negative to say, please dont waste your and my time.

Is that actually a picture of 4th interior in a 3rd gen? If so, how did you get the seat belts to be mounted where they are and not in the original location? I have a 3rd gen camaro with 4th gen seats. Problem I have it the seat belts don't like to retract completely due to the the piece attached to the seat. Guess it's called a seat belt loop.

It was a picture someone posted a while back praising the car......they photographed it and wanted to know more about it......Hence the thread where we found out where the car was located it...........

That car is not mine....It's Fatal88's car....The other one i have no idea.....

I don't think the 4th gen looks better enough to actually swap. I saw it done on a 2nd gen with a TA interior - that was one sweet 2nd gen.

So the first picture is of Fatal's car? If so, Fatal how did you mount the seat belts so they would be lower than the original location? Having seat belt issues with them retracting.

Ok makes sense, so I'm assuming that you have a vert. If not, it would be helpful to know how you mounted them there and what panel pieces you used. Nice looking interior by the way.
