Thanks for all the positive feedback so far!!! Hoping to have the spoiler and trunk lock holes patched up by this weekend. I paid $4300.00 for the car, which was more than worth it to me to have the low milage motor and trans. The previous owner said he had quotes to repair and paint it for between 6 & 8 grand. I'll be into the body for less than $500 out of pocket for parts and materials. Also picked up an Eibach pro kit, gonna get a set of shocks & struts, urethane bushing kit, and I've got a King Cobra clutch on order cuz I don't know what kind is in the car now but it sucks!

Pull off the shift bezel. Then you can pull off the radio/AC bezel. They both just pull right off

Yes, I do bodywork for a living. I'm a bit limited on time for big side jobs but if you need something done let me know and I'll see what I can do. I do some custom painting too.

As far as removing the bezel...the shifter bezel just pulls off, take your shift **** off, grab the edges and pull. The radio bezel does have two screws under the radio that go up toward the radio, take those out, then grab the edges and pull, it should pop right out.
