wow those are some nice build ups you guys did...it brings a smile to my face to see what they looked like before and after. To think they were on the verge of being lost forever to the boneyard

You mean Saved from a bone yard on this one....lol.



cant complain either. PERFECT leather Int. No rips in the top or anything. The back window is shot. Everything else was in great condition besided the front clip seen here.

Belive it or not th eframe could have been straightened the shop said but it has a salvage title so Im just using the rear 1/2 for my 92.
