I recently looked at a 1986 GMC Jimmy. It has a nice body and a straight frame. However it needs a new tranny, and possibly a new motor in the near future. The inside is TORE UP! Needs new armrests, new carpet, a bunch of little odds and ends, armrests, power window switches bla bla bla. He wants 1800 for it, is it worth the repair as a project? Compared to buying an 89 in nice condition, these cheap indian guys wanted 7500 for it. And it wasnt even close to clean. Also is there a catalog for these parts? I know they have complete catalogs for chevelles and stuff like that, but how about for the Blazers? And what are the costs?
 
Interior work is expensive, let me tell you firsthand. I've been restoring a 75 Firebird for the past few years and the interior is the most costly thing yet. Of course, Fbird interior parts are a little more expensive than Blazer interior parts, but they are still expensive. I'm expecting to spend well over $600 for the interior. Thst price sounds a litte high for the 89 and the price of the other one sounds high too, considering that it needs an interior and tranny.

All depends on how much you have to replace, as some parts are spendy, and what you call expensive

. Did my whole interior (not counting the $800 Flofit seats) for about $1000, new dash pad, carpets, underlayment (padding), new side panels, dash bezel kit, etc. Pretty much a completely new interior. Worth every penny too.......
