Just a quick rundown of what was wrong with it- No headliner, front end body damage, hood sun damage, roof sun damage, headlights didnt work, no shift knob, door instrument bezels hanging off, door panels cracked, rips on seats, dash top cracked to 50 pieces, cat was bad (rattling), exhaust was rusting out( Exhaust tip was hanging off, held up by a coat hanger) Fogs didnt work, rotors rusted up, pads low, manifold leak, window motors didnt work, vacuum leak, radio didnt work, and A/C only blew from floor. I knew I had my work cut out for me but I was ready. (I didn't take pics of the interior after I bought because it looked pretty bad)

There are some things I replaced that don't have pictures to go with them so I'll explain those last.*
; I did all of this in my dirt driveway due to not having a garage or any available concrete.


I started off with a genuine leather GM shift knob
