Default My Interior conversion

Most the parts were a collection from several different cars, its not done completely done but nothing ever is I imagine. I still have some plans in the way of the sound system, buts thats another project for another day. Up next will be a Firehawk hood and air box and of course getting the nitrous working. This all wouldn't been possible with out the help of some friends like Joe who helped me get these seats and my buddy Ovidu who was there lending a hand the entire way.

Parts Changed:

2000 Steering wheel
2000 Console (Thanks Raf)
All Graphite interior panels
Graphite Black Carpet
Black Sun visors
Head liner Recovered to black
Graphite TA Leather door Panels
Black Leather Firehawk seats (care of Mike at Icon and Dave Lewis)
97+ Cluster Bezel

Stock Tan Interior, circa 2000



New Pics







Cleaned the paint up with some Scratch X

Looks nice. The taupe interior wasn't nearly as common as the graphite interior though.

Craig, I have thought about it a lot, the LSx based motor isn't ruled out, but since I'm putting a Firehawk hood on it, probably just keep the stock front clip. I like the LS1 front clip a lot more, but it's rare to ever see a clean LT1 style Trans Am any more.

It was in great shape when I first got the car, but after years of use it wasn't that nice any more.

Keep the front clip and get a nasty LS2 or LS3 heads/cam motor!

And those seats are different from what I was thinking about when we talked. The upper part of the seats are same as LS1, but the bottoms are different. Those are like the 3rd gens where you can kick the middle leg part up, and no power either like you said.

Peace,
Craig.
