thanks bill

I saw them at the junk yard and was all over them.They came with good tires too.(goodyear)Got the set for 100$

who ever had that white 87-88 GTA (had the digital dash)junked it Still had good everything.It was a TPI 305 or 350 and everthing was in tact.While I was gettin the tires though two dudes came with all there tools and took over the motor.When I went back after I bought the rims the intakes were gone

Also got a black set off a 87 blue trans am.Those didnt have good tires but Im gonna install them on the blue car once I get some new tires.

what kind of junk yard did you go too...around here they wont even let you look at a car...they just pull it off and bring it to you to see it.

Im almost done.Just need a black set of front seats that match the good black rear seats I got at the J/Y,Or a complete set of black or tan seats.So far what I have done is painted those hatch panels(that was hard to take off the old carpet)Ripped out all the carpet including the hatch lid cover carpet and installed black carpet.Installed some door panels I got out of a camaro that I think are kinda cool.Installed new dash pad.Installed black kick panels and door sills.And a black center consol lid.Interior is much better than before.heres some more pics.....
