Sweet...4th gen seats.

i stopped by the boneyard to grab a few things today and i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw a 4th gen with minor front end damage. i asked them how much for the front & rear seats (manual cloth) , he only wants $150!!!!! i can't wait till i get paid!!!

what else should i get out of this mostly intact 4th gen?
(it's an auto) i got excited for a sec while i was there.

good find on the seats
if you care there is a thread on a 4th gen dash conversion going around...all you need is time and alot of elbow grease to do it.
also the hmm floor mats maybe???
center console, i'm sure it fits, just like the 3rd gen TAs.
steering wheel if you are going to do the console swap.
wheels..... sell them on ebay.
that is a few things off of the top of my head.

the console is NOT a direct swap. You'd need a manual console (unless you like doing alot more work) and then putting it in a camaro is alot more work thant a bird. Unless you plan on swapping the dash, forget the console.

the console and radio pod are all one piece on the 3rd gen camaros. they are seperate pieces on 3rd gen birds, and the radio pod is part of the dash on all 4th gens. you can still do it on your car, but it will take some work.

Go for the rear end also you can either use the whole assembly if you have to use spacers now with your wheels the axle is longer or you can pull the brakes off and the back plate off the axle and put them on your axle, cheap disk brakes conversion. There is a website or two about this just do a search.
