I re-used the original grille for the front window vent on the PISA dash. I cut off all the mounting tabs, sandblasted the old paint off, then I put on a fresh coat of black paint to match the rest of the interior.

An epoxy based adhesive was used to attach the grille to the dash.

No more stalling.

Now it begins – the re-installation of the interior.

The Fiero Store carpet I purchased way back in 2007 came with instructions that said it should be installed over the existing carpet.

I’m not a big fan of putting NEW over OLD. So in order to maintain the sound-proofing that the original carpet has, I decided to use rubber padding to go under the new carpet.

I bought a few rolls of this from Princess Auto for $2 a roll – quite cheap.

I began the installation of the Fiero Store carpet I purchased over 4.5 years ago.

It’s over-sized, so I need to trim down the edges.

Exciting!

Installation of the carpet is complete. I also installed the back firewall cover.

Since the original tabs were broken on the speaker covers, I came up with a new way of attaching them to the interior “A” pillar piece.

Home Depot sells these nylon based nuts and bolts. With a black coat of paint, they fit right in.

I have re-attached the Fiero seat brackets. They are ready to go back in the car after being out almost 3 years!!

I also sandblasted the seat bolts – they were a bit too “rusty” for the new interior.

Big day. After 11 months of hard work, the dash is finally back in.

I still need to add the components – such as the extra gauges and the MP3 player.

But it is satisfying to see this interior come together.

FINALLY.

I have been watching your thread since the begining. Are you going to have your car on the Road soon?

We should get a few Fieros together at Tim's for a coffee and to look over your car in the flesh. Hopefully before they get stored for the winter.
