Man, I feel bad for tossing the mint 109 block and 8447 heads I had last year.

That is awesome! Great to see a pair of the rarest G bodies next to each other. I am a total nerd for those dual G body photos

Dash removed. That grass seed is everywhere

Saw this pic on IG, can't wait to see yours refreshed. I didn't realize only 215 were made in '82, extra cool points!!!

I got tired of hitting my head on the stupid windshield so I removed that problem. The windshield was loose in the drivers bottom corner and I found a couple small pinholes that will have to get tacked up. I haven’t cleaned the full windshield channel out will do that tomorrow and see what other issues I have. Fortunately it looks like the bottom of the a pillars are ok so it will probably just be the header panel that gets replaced. Also got the header panel and hood off and started removing the fenders until the passenger bottom bolt started spinning because of the speed clip. So I’ll have to cut the bolt. No biggie. Making progress

Yes I saw it too I hope my car will look that good after the restoration. I’m hoping I can find a set of those wheels for mine

I was into those cars before they were cool (not that they ever really caught on even now) so, when the time comes, I've got some in my parts stash. Hate to part with more, but, your car deserves them. Somewhere I've even got a dashboard from one a dummy parted out. (oddly enough, recently lost a complete set of those rims/centers/lugs to theft that I'm pretty sure we're sold for scrap based on where 2 of the recovered cars were found.)

Correct center caps are most affordably made by taking one set each of the repop black and the repop chrome bodied ones they started making for the 86-87 ttype wheels and taking the black/grey center medallion off the black ones, gluing in place of the colored medallion on the chrome ones.
