I want to swap the interior of a 82 firebird into a 1991, has it been done without major modifications

 

Seat belts in back are different...
Not sure if early cars had the rear shoulder seat belts...
Otherwise, everything else should be fine..

 

how about the center console I noticed a height difference, I have a complete 82 interior I would like to install

 

I want to give it an old school look, I already changed the nose and taillights with only minor adjustsments

 

Should be fine... older cars didn't have air bags, sensor is under console on newer cars, so should have more room...

 

thanks, I was going to pull out the 91 steering column anyway, I also have the rally dash in great shape you think the instrument panel should fit as well

 

Everything will swap over no problem. you will need to swap everything such as the rear plastic panels to cover the holes for rear shoulder belts, unless you are keeping the 91 rear belt set up. The one part you will need to keep with the 91 is the headliner trim that has the provision for the third brake in the hatch. You will need to swap the entire dash structure, not just fascia. You may find some of the 91 interior parts are valuable since there are a lot less of them.

 

thanks, that helps a lot, I just finished pulling it out, it's crazy the 82 I'm pulling it from is probably worth more, it's a 5 liter w/400 trans and a posi rear with only 61,000 miles on it

 

I don't know about the speedo, / dash plugs from 91 to 82...

 

I assumed he was keeping the gauge cluster and wiring in the 91 to match the drivetrain , but now that you brought it up, the 82 steering column could be an issue with that, IIRC it has some unique wiring.

 

Doubtful, not much desirable about 82 drive trains. 82s in general have some first year issues. Anyway, value on these cars is all about condition. Only a few special models have any collector value.

 

lot of plug changes, keeping the ignition key from the 91, lot of work

 

keeping drivetrain from the 91 intact, thanks for the help

 

You will have an issue with the speedo. 1991 uses a electronic speed while the 82 is cable driven.

 

thanks! that's going to save me a lot of headaches

 

had a few problems with the shift the 82 has the shift lock on the opposite side had to modify it and cut out the square hole to make it fit and still broke the cable

 

I guess I have to live with the 91 speedo
