What does it require? I have an 85 GT and wanting to change out the dash, seats, all interior. Are there any quirks between the years I should know about?

Thanks

find a donor car and take everything. screws, wire harnesses, hvac, everything. this will make the process much easier. you are basically going to have to strip your car down on the inside and start again from scratch for the dash. the seats should just bolt in.

He wasnt the only one who put that crap into his car.. More then half of my first GT are split between both of his cars. His carpet and interior plastics on that purple car are mine along with the engine.

Your going to have to mess with some wiring too. Ram360 swapped every harness from an 89 gt into an 83gt... Your definately going to run into a wiring prob.
