Ok so I been looking at a 1991 GT in San Antonio, TX which is for sale and has the same color interior (red/black) as my 90 GT and from the pictures it appears to be in pretty good condition. Everything on the car is original except for a recent addition of a cold air induction system and MSD ignition. Car has 154,000 miles and has been down south (Houston/San Antonio) its whole life.
Now, the reason I have been looking at this car is solely for a parts car for my 90 GT as most of my interior is shot (and much of the exterior too).
I'm having second thoughts taking a seemingly good survivor and stripping it down for my needs. Any thoughts?
As it stands now, at a minimum, I need a drivers seat, center console, and misc. interior parts. Some of this I can buy new but not all so I have to get parts somewhere. I was planning on replacing virtually everything on my car from headlights to tail lights.
The reason I want to restore my 90 GT is I owned the car in the early 90s and sold it in 1995 to go to college, get married, and start a family. I located the car in December 2014 and bought it back January 1, 2015. Unfortunately the people who owned the car over the last 20 years destroyed about everything. I feel obligated to bring the car back and want to completely restore it.
