        sunday i got the '81 to the shop and today i remover the header panel and bumper from GMGT. i need to remove the rear bumer and lights, the interior then vinyl roof. then she will be almost ready to go. now the '81 will go under the knife...i dont know if i can do it...it will only lead to tears!




        and here she sits. this car was the best car iv owned, never let me down. hope her legacy continues...










        oh ya, the red is gonna look sweet in GMGT!







        yes, its rotted out!...

              I LOVE the interior in the '81! And I normally don't care for red interiors.

                  You're gonna reuse the push bar/lights and the side vents right? I would imagine so, it'll look awesome.

                    im not gonna trash GMGTs interior, just remove/replacing it lol. and as far as the push bar goes, im sitting on the fence on that. once i get the car back together in the spring, ill see if i want it back on. today i got the tail lights and quarter extentions removed, tomorrow i will remove the rear bumber so i can put my stripe-less one on. if anyone who is somewhat in the area from me who is interested in GMGTs complete interior, let me know

                      Crush up that damn '88 nose clip And you have yet to pierce the tip of the iceberg for the dash removal. This is going to be an interesting project indeed!

                          today at lunch, i gots the rear bumper and tail lights off. also i got the front bumper of the silver '81. they say sat will be nice so im gonna put the front bumper on and just maybe be able to remove the dashes from both cars. once i get GMGT pretty much stripped i can get the windshield replaced.
