Above the HVAC control and below the radio...have a space that was left for toggle switches and such:
I will be utilizing this VW B3 power mirror switch (30mmx30mm) mounted dead center of the plate: & and two of these rocker switches on each side (each switch is 27mm x 27mm):
Also reworking the power lock's actuator's location because of the Quicksilver door panels:

Going to mount my front hood release here on the floor...still need to carpet the cable:
Also figured out that with the recovering of the center console...need to trim a little of the door back...so will trim and send back to Russ to rework or recover if needed:
Fireboss...it is looking like the 3.4 Turbo will be going into the 88GT restoration and upgrade with the "ReMera" body installed, but 1st we are going to document and measure everything so we can reproduce the engine as many times as we like.

Love the interior.. whats going on with the shift surround piece and where it mates to the center console?
Will this be forsale when finished?
Enjoying all the pics.
Steel...That piece is not fully mounted as of yet...we still needed to adjust the heated seats & power window control wires that feed through that area where the old stock lighter was originally located. It will sit flush once we secure it down correctly.
As far as BluDrm being for sale...sorry...the 1st Pegasus Edition Fiero stays in my stable and will be part of the Demos for out customers to be able to check out a finished product.
Now with that said, we can build you a very similar vehicle with your own personal touches if interested. Let me know.
Awww Jeah, this is right down the street from me.....
You guys open for business yet?
Yes Sir! and we are starting to get busy...stop in and say hello to my partner, Caesar.
The entire shop is filled with Fieros...well excluding my 93 R1 RX7 that is there to be repainted...it is getting fit in between all the Fiero projects.
Going to try and make it to the next NTFC meeting with a completed BluDrm...as long as work doesn't get in the way....fingers crossed!

Also have you mocked up the HVAC controls you got from riceburner
Fireboss....sorry for the delay in response...been busy to say the least and didn't mean to skip your question. We haven't gotten the 3.4 Turbo over to the Dyno as of yet, but soon as do....I will post.
In regards to riceburner's HVAC controls...waiting on new custom plate for G1 dash that has the template cut directly into the plate...so only the buttons are revealed through the plate. I have also reached out to riceburner seeing if we can purchase these from him in bulk....if we can get it arrange...we will integrate them into all our builds.
Here is the process...went through about 4 blades doing it:
I oiled the end with 50W and using a bi-metal blade, I cut off about 3/8":
I then went back and chamfered the edge with a disk wheel.
I left them on the car for the procedure. If you dis-assemble first, put some scrap nuts on as a backer and when you take them off, it will clean the threads. (worked perfectly)
And need to give credit to these steps...where credit is due...these steps came from member "RCR"...thanks Bob!

UPDATES: Sorry Everyone...not too many updates that past few days...we are actually pushing my 93 R1 RX7 through the shop. My wife wanted to have it painted a Candi Rootbeer color. We also cleaned up all the dings, moved the antenna to the roof, some tech upgrades and are covering the interior plastic in real carbon fiber.
Candi paints are PIA to paint with...we are doing all the underside and hardware first removed from the car...then we will reassemble the car and shoot the last two coats all at once to get that even flow. http://s1086.photobucket.co...txopie/slideshow/RX7
We are finishing stripping down the 88 T-Top and 88 formula (which is being prepped to be a "Medusa" build):
Also snagged the last set of Grey tinted side windows from Rich...these will probably be the last set of Grey tint for quite some time if ever again. We are working on a regular supply of the green glass ones for our builds. We are also looking into getting new sunroof glass produced.
Just got a text from Jerry...my new 3.4 Turbo is loaded on the truck and headed for TX....Yea Haw!

BluDrm is getting exhaust re-worked today. Removing the Spintech and replacing with a Borla. Adding a catalytic converter and C6 tips as well...pictures later today.
ReMera #1 UPDATE: The 1st ReMera body is almost finished being mounted and prepped for paint. The chassis was addressed before the re-body, but next week it will be time to start finishing rebuilding her mechanically. So yesterday I started ensuring we had all the needed parts to complete the build quickly...so ordered a few odds & ends: aluminum 3-core radiator, Genuine Delphi BM10009 HVAC Blower Motor and Fan Assembly heater core, door strikers, carpet & floor mats...think all I have left on the list is fiberglass headliner left.
Man, even your plates look good.Our plates in IL are boring.If you get the classic car ones they come in a burnt pee color.Glad to see your shop is doing well.
BluDrm UPDATE: Since BluDrm is really the 1st of our "Pegasus Edition" Fieros. I am not only sharing BluDrm's front badge, but also the badge that will be utilized on all our Pegasus Edition builds.

Davy...you don't even know the half of it...check it out...150 options...TX is spoiled:
A trip 3 blocks down to the performance muffler shop...she still won't be legal to drive until she gets her inspection tomorrow and then finally registered! She would have been ready but have been making last minute tweaks which have delayed us a little bit. But my partner has said we are putting a stake in the ground on Blu for now...I will do upgrades periodically over the next year, but we have cars to produce and it is time to get my personal stuff out of there to make room for the orders we are getting.
