[V8] Headliner poll, 1990 V8 for sale

[davidolson at kc.rr.com]

I am going with the stock loose headliner in front, and the scraped bare fiberglass panel in back.  
My car is for sale by the way. I have decided to let it go and pursue other projects (mainly my '94 S4 with 112K mi. and a complete 1975 Honda CB750F my neighbor gave me). I am offering the V8 on the list for $800 for a week or two. Email me for pictures. The car: Dark blue, grey leather interior with sport seats, 136K mi, no rust, reliable, runs and drives well, needs mechanical maintenance and misc. It's a driver/project.
