Here are the pictures that I promised of the tv dvd and more. The dvd took alot of custom work internally underneath the console and also the dvd itself. Had to disect the dvd and move components around to make possible. I would love to answer any questions but I can not see any of my replies on my PC. and I dont know why. So if you know please help. I was able to view my replies at work but not at home. Soory for the big photos, Cant figure out how to make small yet. Remember cant see replies so send me messages.
Kinda similar to mine. I have the same pedals, Same gauges. I also have the engine start button (mine is where the rear defroster switch Would have been, if I had it)

Ditch the wing and put in a 3800 sc and maybe some nos and damn, you have a dream car. Awesome dvd deal, if you did that yourself you should do a detailed description somewhere, maybe offer to do it to others fieros for price, youd get customers.
oh dang, i didn't even think of this before.... did you get dolby 5.1 set up with it? i was just thinkin that it wouldn't be all that hard to do. all i can say is wow!
Sweet install... I've been planning something like that for awhile- just don't have the funds for it yet. The DVD is awsome, I'd never even thought of installing it there. Curious as to what kind of DVD player that is (most portables that I've found look more like a discman)? And do you have any "working" pics of the DVD install?
DTS 5.1 would be fairly easy to install- you just need a reciever that is 5.1 compatible (check with your local AudioKing, etc... they've got 'em- and the Volvo C70 came stock with a 5.1 DTS setup).

This is a true show-quality fiero! I love all the work you have done, it looks very sweet and professional. What was all involved in mounting the actual dvd player in that location? Also, I noticed the switches in your drivers ash tray compartment, what do they do? Keep this fiero beautiful!

Ok to answer some of the questions,The start button is actually out of the new Honda I think its the h or s 2000 2 seater that just came out. I had to take the switch appart and with a meter find out which 2 of the 7 pins on the switch made contact and wired a relay of off of it to power the starter wire under the column. It is fully functionable.The dvd player is a Mobile car dvd called Farenheit by Power Accoustic.For this to work I had to untape and move the factory harness under the console and pound down some of the metal underneath to get the Dvd loading mechanism were you see it. I literally took the dvd appart and extended any wires and ribbon cables to get the rest of the dvd in the storage between the seats.Sounds easier than it was. Imagine taking a full size dvd and shrinking to fit there.The panell where the tv is in is a piece of MDF wood cut and shaped by hand to fit. The stereo consist of a pair of Mb quart 5.25 components in the front, Mb quart 4x6 in the rear, A Cadence 8 inch 300 watt woofer and a Mtx thunder amp to power the sub. The highs are powered of the new pontiac delco. Sound for the dvd is ran through a Fm modulator in stereo surround sound.The three switches in the ash tray are to power up the DVD,monitor, and fm Modulator.I think thats it. Exuse any misspelled words, Thanks for the interest. Any more questions, Ill be glad to answer. Eddie

Didn't realise you could turn so many shades of green (jealousy)...
Top notch job there, very similar to what I plan. Although I've got something different mapped out for the map pocket area.. (You'll love it when you see it, which wont be till I GET THE DAMN CAR RUNNING!!)
Also, what is your source of income? Thats some serious $ you've forked out! I'd type more, but my drool has shorted most of the keyboard out. You bastard.
PEACE -Sootah
