Pick-A-Part Fun

Got lucky the other day and found a 84 coupe with a real nice doner seats for my 80, ended up grabing allmost the whole inside it was in such good shape. Super happy with the wreckers prices, it was like 5$ for this 5$ bucks for that.. the seats was kinda funny because it was the first thing i asked for a price and the lady said 85$ for all the seat, i paused for a sec thinking that is super cheap..:D then she said take em for 75$ LOL!.. DONE DEAL:D:D:cool:hehe funny the local places think the stuff is worth more than Gold :mad:so i just took a nice drive out the valley and BAMM! deals everywhere

Normally I dont like the looks of 78-80 regals, but yours looks great! I know how annoying interior swaps are. Took me 2 and a half weekends to do it.
