Not sure I have a "plan" exactly. lol I think Im just gonna get it roadworthy and cruise it the way it is for awhile. The interior is really ratty so thats high on the list of priorities. The interior in the bonneville is PERFECT, I just need to figure out how to use a sedan rear seat in a wagon.

I guess once you're driving it around, you can do always improvements on it while it's being used.
As for the rear seat, you might be able to reuse the upholstery, otherwise the wagon rear seat is made specifically for the wagon. I thought of using the rear seat upholstery from a Monte SS and refitting it onto the wagon seat. Whether it would work or not, I haven't found out.

Got my parts car home today. 84 bonneville with 63k original miles on the 4brl 305. Interior is going into my wagon, doors are going onto my nephews wagon, drivetrain may go into my 84 Monte.

Oh for sure, its perfect! I have another one from an 85 GP I parted about a year ago that actually matches the light gray interior from this car, not sure why this has a darker colored dash. It may go in my nephews car.
