How far are you going to go towards authenticity as far as the interior? like swapping out the gauge cluster and steering wheel for an 84 one? Are you going to paint it all the same light slate gray and charcoal gray used in the Indy Fieros, with red carpeting and leather seats with red cloth inserts... (can you tell I'm not the one paying for it? )
Have you looked into decals yet? What about accurate side mirrors? Did 84's have that T-handle thing on the back for opening the hatch? Or a rear wiper for tht matter? OOH what about the ground effects?

very good questions bob. actually you just gave me a few ideas.
guage cluster - no change
sterring wheel - indy fiero wheel
as far as the slate & charcoal i had not put any thought to that yet because of the interior already being light gray, but i will !
seats - original indy seats (problem is then what do i do with the back seats so they match?
door panels - look at the picture, you see factory carpet?, i'm putting all rerd carpet up to that next line right at the armrest.
decals- not looked yet, but have local shop or the link provided up above.(just wondering how good the link can do w/no truck.)
side mirrors - no thought yet.
t-handle - i'm think 84's have
wiper - i'm keeping
3rd brake light - i'm keeping(have to, body shop did not remove when painting, means blue underneath)
ground effects - aaaaaaaarrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhh
