I am really good at asking odd questions.....will the carpet from my 92 fit into my 89? How bout the plastic door pillar cover upper thingys(or whatever the **** there called)? Will they fit each other(gen1 vs. gen2)? I know the front seats from my 92 will fit the 89 but how bout the rear...reason I ask is because the 89 rear seat has little dumpy headrests and the 92 don't.

The real reason I am asking all these questions is cause my 92, IMO, is pretty crappy! It needs paint, body work, exhaust, new struts, a new clutch, etc etc etc. And to top all of that it has a salvage title. The 89, on the other hand, is in much better mechanical shape but also needs a hood and paint. The interior on the 89 is totally trashed so I was thinking about just using the 92 as a parts car. Lord knows I can find a gen 2 here or on ebay in a lot better shape than mine and for not too much money. Any ideas? :nut:

i say fix the 89 they are soooo much better then the other gens! i think the headrests are all interchangeable i dont know about the pillars and the carpet would fit because the interior is similar but i dont know im only tring to help! but keep the 89!!!

the pillars are not interchangable, The carpet from the 92 should fit the 89, but not vise versa, i beleive the gen I carpet is shorter or something. What color are you looking for? i'm parting out a 90 with black interior.

Well my 92 has black interior and the 89 is tan/grey. I thought it would look good with black carpet and black seats...but I think some or all of the pillars should also be black. I like 2 tone interiors...I actually would like to paint the exterior two tone too. My brother does'nt like the idea of a silver and black car.

btw....I used to hate gen 1's untill this 89 came to live with me. Now I really like gen 1's...but they gotta have the police grill! Which means I need a police grill and I can't find one. My 89 is by far the fastest sho I have ever driven, from what I can tell it's all stock. Problem is it was hit in the front and I need a core support, hood, fender, header, grill. But hey for $300.00 it's not too bad at all.
