you might be able to fix it, but that doesnt mean you should.  Wow that thing is toasted.  Too bad cause it looks like its in decent shape body wise.  Sadly it has the grey interior as well.  What a shame.

Whats that supposed to mean?

It would be so easy!

1. get the car
2. get a red TGP for a dime (10 cents) :icon_lol:.
3. transfer the parts/ wheels on to the ultra rare black/grey TGP and paint it. take you 1 year tops.

Hey, if you've got the time, its all yours.  I'm just as sad as the next guy to see the rarest of the TGP's wasting like that.  That car is torn up, but hey, to each his own. 

Make sure you post pics of your finished work.  I'm sure you'll have a blast.  In the meantime, I'll just paint mine black, and take it to the local upholstery shop and let them make it all grey.  :icon_cool:

Sounds like it would be much less expensive than getting that POS from the yard and wasting gobs of time and money on it. Also you would be stuck with a salvage title.

So it is another car in the yard...what is the big deal? Hell...do you have any idea in the 80's how many muscle cars I saw in the salvage yards that today would be worth better than $20,000 in total shit shape? Seems like we are crying over spilled milk here gents. :icon_rolleyes:

kuntzie

ya i wasnt crying... just the fact of a gray interoir caught my eye or i wouldnt hae posted it

yea exactly, what if it ends up being worth $20,000  :laugh:  still, the salvage title would suck.  but it wouldnt be that hard to fix up if the interior is still good. and the body is still straight.

From that crappy picture, they kinda look like they're cloth to me...

From the sheen off the headrest I would say they are leather. Anyone have a way of finding out for sure? Dont want to waste a trip to pick up some seats for my TGP, only to find they arent the right ones..
