91-93 have a different lower dash piece like the one in the picture. There is a metal "security" plate behind the buldge. 87-90 doesn't have that plate.

I'm too am little confused about the pic. The lower "bulging" dash plate below the steering wheel does indicate a '90-93 airbag car.
But, that is an '87-89 "non" air bag steering wheel.

This is true but don't be impressed. I'm sure that S&B had to Google that before he posted.

Is it just me, or is the shifter sitting at a very odd angle?

He could have swapped in a tilt column as well.

The length of the MGW's shifter handle is adjustable via a set screw. They can be extended out pretty far.

The tranny might be in second gear. Noticed his e-brake is down.
