Nice work

The wheels need to go in my opinion, but since you're flipping it that'll be the new owner's problem

Thank you for the nice comments, everyone. They are all appreciated.

It's a shame I can't drive it, after all of the work I put into it. (Car's not plated)
I did get in some time behind the wheel, do to test drives and the last photo shoot.

Jeff, the seat covers came from Wilcox. "Flame Red" without perforations.

I had the vert up for sale for less than 2 weeks and it's gone.
Sold it yesterday.





I didn't make a lot, but I did come out with more than what I put into it.

I'm going to take a break from any others for a while, but my next project, is to finally get that ZF6 tranny and fuel injection in my garage put into my 63 Nova.

Congrats on the small profit, but hey better than being negative.

I might be in the market for another Nova wagon here pretty soon.

Excellent Job!

I have a '88 resto with the same color combo (love it) that I'll be doing the same thing you did.... paint, interior, suspension work, etc.

Jonneymoe63, excellent interior work on your 86.
I have a couple of questions. I see that you installed the Sport seat controls on both side of the bottom seat cushions. Did all your switches work? Did you rebuild the lumbar bladders? I installed new foam and leather seat covers on my 88 with Sport seats but left the side seat controls off due to the Bolster and Lumbar not working. I set the recline and then removed the switch.
Your red interior looks better without the wood grain and cleaner without the bread box.

All switches worked when I was done. I put new lumbar bladders on both seats, along with the tubing harnesses and a new air pump on the driver's side.
