4th Gen Seats Installed! Phase I

For whatever reason, I was an hour early to work, so I decided to thumb through an AutoTrader and found a classified ad in the back stating "Misc 93 Camaro parts, seats, etc." and a phone number. I called and he had a set of cloth charcoal/grey seats with a power driver seat for $100/set! He also had the entire dash with airbag in tact for a mere $40! Needless to say I snatched both up - it turns out it was THE SAME guy that called me about a Nova for sale (I almost bought a 70 SS Nova about a year ago, and he had another one for sale so he gave me a buzz), I wound up buying the Nova too (69 Nova with dropped spindles, 95 Camaro disc setup and power booster/master cylinder!!!)! So he threw in a tilt airbag column, calipers, and rack and pinion unit from the same 93 LT1 Camaro!!! AWESOME! The rack and pinion is spotless! Anyway, like you guys care about HOW I got the seats, so here are a couple pics;

There were a DIRECT bolt in and took NO time to install!






So how do they look? The next phase is the dash!

@Dewey316: Hey Dew, will do

@tigersZ: Thanks, I'll need it

@91rs305v8: Yeah, I will definately post a tutorial style thread when I tackle it

@Formula4Speed: Thanks, I still think leather would be quite nice, but the cost is pretty vast. I am really happy with these, the colors are great and they're in super shape.

Yeah, the console is the last item needed; I've got some Charcoal door panels from a 94 'Bird on the way. I'd pop for the console now but my funds are slim after this Nova aquisition Too many projects... but I love it!

Yeah, I guess that is kinda funny. It just happened to work out that I had the funds available to get the car. I was so close to getting this 70 SS Nova he had but I had to trade a bunch of stuff since I didn't have the cash, and that was a turn off for him. So he kept my info, and ran across this cherry 69 Nova, and I was the first person he called. It just circumstantially worked out, I am one poor individual right now. What's scary is that I was REAL close to spending a couple bills on LAME computer upgrades... Thank goodness I didn't, this one can access TGO, what more do I need? To make room/reallocate funds I've got a 1969 Nova and 1972 Nova for sale, PM/Email me if interested
