Have you measured how wide a FC is?

I belive you could do it, but without a jig saw, or splicing connectors and it looking like ****, it wouldnt be possible

Mike is right - The answer is No. However, if you want to update the look of your interior, You CAN (with a lot of work) update the interior to the 84/85 American Spec Interiors,



Or Go all out custom

I with you dude, that would have to be the dumbest idea I've heard this year.

How much do you think that custom job costs? I wouldn't do that blue but a redo of the grey might be nice.

i wouldnt worry about the width but more the length "the distance between you can the windshield"

in a 1st gen theres like 4"
in a 2nd gen theres like 12"

point is that you would have to put the seats way back
and even then you would be bangin your knucles on the dash every time you shift gears

The grey GSL-SE interior should fit into any FB, as long as you take the whole substructure and not just the skin

It's creeping me out. I feel like the eyes are following me.

I'm not. A series of colored dots are being luminesced on your monitor and when you look at them your eyes interpret them as an image of me looking at you looking at me
