Default bought my old 94 lt1 back

To make a long story short, I bought my old 94 lt1 z-28 back and finally brought it home to the shop. I started on it a night or two ago. I will post pics a little later. It is in sad shape. Motor and tranny are out as is the entire interior now. Anyone have an idea where i can find oem quality replacement carpet at a decent price? Ecklers has it, but it is $300 plus shipping.....

Thanks in advance

It was painful seeing her this way. I figured i would start from the inside and work my way to the outside. She needs so many things it is not even funny. The nose is cracked along with the headlight mount, motor is toasted, interior had burn holes and stains, paint is mutilcolor primer, dents, wheels are permanently stained, tint is faded etc...

This is going to be a long process, but worth it in the end. When i am done, she will live in a temp controlled shop, and only get wet when i wash her .

I found the carpet for $199. I also decided to replace the head unit and the speakers in the car. I bought 2 pair of polk audio speakers today. I am still looking for the head unit. I will be dropping off the seats and door panels sometime today as well. I really hope they can fix them.

After looking at the car for a bit, I am considering changing the nose to a 98-02 nose and ss hood. The car needs both fenders, headlight mount, nose, and both fog lights anyway. Does anyone know offhand what parts it will require to make the change?

if your looking for interior parts, you could try looking in the used parts section on this site. Sometimes people have complete part outs and stuff like that.
