FYI, 95-96 was a big model year change.

- Motor went from Series 1 SC to Series 2 SC (no parts interchange)
- Front and rear body changes (fenders, grill, bumpers, trunk lid, tail lights, headlights, body cladding)
- HUD Changed
- Door panels Changed
- Instrument cluster and harness changed
- Trans Changed (possibly could work.)

The body, door shells, and most of the interior stayed the same, but there might be small differences in things like seat wiring and connectors. You can swap some parts separate since hte body shell is the same.

Try posting it on [BonnevillePro.com](http://BonnevillePro.com) (lots of NE people), [PontiacBonnevilleClub.com](http://PontiacBonnevilleClub.com), and [GMForums.com](http://GMForums.com) as those have a lot of people who would be interested.

i was just looking for interior tid bits. the clips arent the greatest on the door panels. just little stuff that irritates me. i put it up on gmforum but that seems like a dead forum. ill try the other two thanks!!

i purchased it from a older man he bought it in 98 i think? and he drove it from lp to batavia for work. i bought it with 147k in aug 09. he kept up on all maintenence on it. i put the mani and the smaller pulley on. the power steering does seep out. i have to add every 3 mos. i havent seen any other leaks. it has new shoes and drums in the rear and new rotors and pads. i put in new plugs in feb. has newer wires. i did a tranny flush and a new filter at 150k. i used synthetic dex 6. new fuel filter. i replaced the UIM and LIM. i used the metal zzp gasket. i replaced both tensioners. the w/p was replaced by P/O.

i need to put in a rear o2. it has a 2012 inspection til jan.  
the abs light is on because of corroded wires on the r/f bearing. i was waiting to replace when that bearing goes bad.  
the drivers seat doesnt move. i dont know why. the guy i bought it off of was my build so it fit.
