Those should be able to work with minimal work. Even better would be the SRT4/Viper seats but they would probably break the bank.

I would imagine that the SRT4 seats are expensive. Also, I haven't seen a SRT4 around here in months, let alone seen parts from one for sale.
Ive got SRT4 seats as cheap as $200 for the pair but that was with some bolster wear.
Ill agree with what was said about the early Shadow ES buckets, well bolstered and still comfy, just keep your eyes open.
Not one hour after I said the above, I see an orange SRT4 on my lunch break.Originally Posted by SilverFleet
Small update: I went to a huge swap meet over the weekend, and to my surprise, I found something useful for the CSX. I picked this steering wheel up to replace my messed up stock wheel:
It's a Grant, and it came with some random adapter on the back, but I will make it work with what I have. It's the same overall diameter as the Shelby wheel, and kinda looks like the 88-89 wheel a bit. The horn button fits this wheel too! Best part: it only cost me $5.
Now, I really have to get those floors repaired and start in on the mechanical stuff.
I picked up some sheet metal to fix the floors lat night. I still need to order the outer rocker panel for the passenger side, but I'm focused on getting the floors done for now. At least the ground effects cover up the rust on the outside!
I worked on the floors a little more last night to square off the holes where the patches will go, and I decided to look under the car at the bottom of the floor so I didn't grind through a fuel line or something. I was in awe of how rusty the passenger side rocker was, so I decided to remove the ground effects to see how bad it really was. Check this out:
Yeah, so does anyone sell rocker panels for this thing?

Dont push the red button.You hear me?
Try it now. I moved things around in my Photobucket and broke the link like an idiot.
Oh yeah, i see it now.. eesh. Wow. 2dr shadow rockers shouldnt be too hard to find, though.
Dont push the red button.You hear me?
The only place I saw that sells them is JC Whitney. They say they are slip-on rockers, whatever that means. Anyone else sell real ones?
A million southern junkyards...

I just found this place:

$75 shipped for both sides!
Switching gears a little...
A friend has a set of tires that he can sell me cheap. The car needs tires bad. The issue is that they are a 205/60/15. I know the stockers are a 205/50/15. Will the taller ones fit on the stock wheels, or am I asking for trouble?
They'll fit, but they'll look dumb. IMO.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. I might actually go with a 195 instead of the 205 anyway. It seems like the 205's balloon off the wheel and look ridiculous. And besides, they are cheaper.
205/50/15s are often cheaper than 195/50/15s.
205/60/15 was factory size for all the '84-'86 Turbo Z Daytonas except for CS models, and they also had 6" wide wheels. They'll fit fine.
They are probably going to throw off the speedometer too with the larger diameter, correct?
Slightly. 35 mph, may read 33-34 mph on the speedo assuming that it was that accurate to begin with. Only one of my TMs have been accruate, otherwise they have all been off 2-3 mph either way.
