cheaper interior parts?

Ok, I just went to Hawks and YearOne, OMFG! The interior parts cost more than most of my engine parts! I'm looking for all the door panels and trim and stripping. The upper trim from hawks is $160 for both sides. Panels (which you have to cut yourself) from YearOne are $260!!! Geeze! I'd rather just make my own.

anyone have another source besides ebay?

Goin to da junk yard next weekend. Been there before, the interior is all jacked up, but I guess I can use them as templates and cut my own and wrap it in tweed or some other material.

Yea, junkyards are bad for interior unless you get lucky enough to find one they just dropped off. The windows and doors are always open if not destryoed from people tearing it up to get to some useless part. Ebay is really the only way to hope for cheap parts...and the classifieds here of course :-)

Patience with a junkyard pays off. Look at my camaro ss fourth gen leather power seats for 50 bucks all. (I know I've been rubbing this find around, but damn I've waited two years for it). So, it might not be tommorow or the next week. But, once it happens you will be a happy individual.

that would work if the junk yard was not 60 miles away and more $ in gas each way than I save on parts

I emailed tom and he said he could get me what i needed for about $100. Both door panels, the upper trim and weather stripping is what I need. Color is not too big of an issue, i'm going to redo the material and paint the plastics.
