not!
Driveway paint (under 100$), hood and side/roof stickers cut for 120$ total delivered, an ABS spoiler, a dash cap, a free 73 Satty interior minus front seats, random fitting front seats, a need for new tires, and here she is...
This car is not getting new seat foams and covers. It WAS going to get custom fit slip over padded covers- but the company decided it did not have the right patterns and measurements. A few seam splits in the rear got a spoonful or two of plasti-kote on them.
The front is getting seat covers. One pieced, pleather type. I thought I was getting a pair for 19$, but with kids from grade school to teenaged in tow, I was confused and it was only one seat cover.
All I can say is, if you were in HS anytime between 80 to 90, this puppy will give you a flashback to the average HS guy trying to live his muscle car dream on a part time budget! If you look close there will be a mirage of a bandana, tassle, or feathered clip hanging from the rear view mirror.
It still needs, in addition to tires,
me to get the front end tightened up
the rear view mirror to stop dangling like a disco ball
a heater core
another fine pleater front seat cover
a headliner
the rear pair of bumper to frame bolts (can't get them lined up, will prob. have to remove bumper and drill holes bigger)
rig up something to cover the rear bumper to body gap so my rear lights don't get rained on all the time
etc.
and a few minor things,
like a fuel tank without a suspicious looking glob of JB weld on the bottom
an engine that is not about to quit
a rear end that does not leak
a tranny without a lot of crazy whines
but other than that I am good
