I have a finished Fiero/Dino but I can't figure out how to attach a picture
Put it up on photobucket and then click on it and select the IMG file type and copy it. After you put it here, change the leaidn and trailing IMG file type text to lower case img and it should work fine,

These are pretty rare and I'd like to see it.
Mine has been a bit stalled for a while, but I'm getting back to it now. The seats are done, just have to be bolted in. I'll tidy up the interior (clean out the tools, etc) then post some pictures of the completed interior.

Hey, maybe I bought your car! It had the original wheels and wheel covers when I bought it, but I like the mini-lite style wheels better. It is a pretty small car but a lot of fun to drive. I couldn't fit Fiero seats in it so I put Miata ones in. I guess I have a thing about Miata's (putting seats in one car and dash in another).
(no, I'm not serious....yours looks like a MKIII and mine is a GT6+)

mine was titled as a mark-II. Had lots of electrical issues. Also, replacing the rotoflex coupling was a pain.
actually I think mine was a combination of GT6's as it appeared to have parts from different models/years.
So far my GT6 has been good. Original wiring that has not been tampered with and everything works (for now). Over the winter I'll rebuild the suspension and replace the rotoflex couplings. For those not familiar with this, it's basically a large rubber donut that takes the place of a u-joint. And before you think it is a pretty Mickey Mouse way of doing things, take a look at the rear suspension of the GT40 LeMans winning cars.
But back to the Miata dash install. I've cleaned up the interior and bolted the seats in. I covered them with a 2-tone colour scheme from Mr.Mikes. As everyone before me has said, these are really fantastic quality seat reupholstery kits. The headliner still has to be covered and installed, but it is looking really good:
At some point I'll get around to doing the door panels, but for now the priority is to get the bodywork finished and get it on the road.
