Default Interior question

Hey,
I'm thinking about swapping out the interior in my 1987 5.0 LX and putting in interior from another car that looks bettter. Right now my interior is faded and some pieces don't look the best. I was thking of swapping out everything but the dash, but might end up doing that. Haven't taken a whole dash out, but have taken things around it out. Is it really hard to swap it out? Could I get the interior out of any LX or GT from 1987-1993? There's people selling cars for parts that have good interiors in them and interiors all ready ripped out of cars in the Want AD and such pretty much every week. I want to start looking for something so that hopefully around christmas time when I will have time off from school I can swap it, but need to know exactly what I can use before I start. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Technically if you want to replace the whole interior you can use any and all parts from '79-'93 and it will fit. Mixing different years will pose problems because the interior was changed in '87 along with the exterior appearance, including the dash. The seats and door panels and such will all fit though.

Also from 92' on,the cars came with airbags in the steeing wheel.The dashboard and steering wheel are different than previous years.so look into that unless your going to swap everything.

It's 90 and up that had the air bag, close, but it's the thought that counts.
