Man I was pissed off! And that is why right now I am Z-less! That is why I am trying to get my '82 on the road. He has a much better body, except for a few dings here and there. At least you can drive yours everyday. I can't quite yet. I mean I could drive my '81, but he has so much damage to the front. It looks like he came from the junkyard! Plus the front-end needs rebuilding. (bushings, and idler arm) He will wear out tires in the front because I can't get him aligned. Anyway sorry for the long post. Just rambling as usual!

I would still give the 81 hell, man! Turn it into your stunt car

I also need all bushings replaced, and also my drivers side (Ibelieve) "A" arm is slightly bent. My dad ripped it apart and said it would be fine unless I get in another accident. My mom said the same, and she's been a mechanical Engineer for 10+ years! ( Dad has been Automation Specialist for 31!)

Hey Jabo it's cool. But I was not happy at all. But yeah my '81 will be all decked out, after I finish my '82. I can't let him go, no matter how damaged he is. he was my first sportscar. He's not going anywhere!

I had the top piece of the arm rest off, and just made sure it had a decent amount of fabric to be screwed in, more security for fabric shift. I just used a spray adhesive for both the armrest and headliner. Thanks for the compliments everyone, I was actually kindof worried about a mixed response, but so far it's 100% positive If anyone's interested in work like this, gimme a holla.
