ReMera UPDATES: She has been sitting at the painter for the past 10 days or so because of the weather. She is suppose to be delivered tomorrow finally!

Here are some shots to hold over till tomorrow:




She needs to be washed...she has dust all over from sitting in the paint & fiberglass shop.

ReMera G1 dash UPDATES: Foam application. Upholstery in progress.

ReMera UPDATES: Think I might change up my steering wheel...inspired by another one I saw today on ebay:



or maybe this way:


It will marry a stock Fiero GT steering wheel hub and a Formula GT Mahogany Steering Wheel - Grant (704) and then wrapping the arms in the same ebony as my dash.

I also just found a guy who does custom wood shift knobs!

Going to have him match the steering wheel color exactly and do a custom logo on top!

Here is one he did for a Miata:

So, without the hub adapter the Grant 704 Wheel will work on a Fiero?

Take a look at the two wheels and the holes.



Marring the two together is a easy now that I see the wheel not installed...since I have taken apart a few stock hubs and steering wheels.

Here is stock wheel disasbled:


3 of the 6 factory holes line up with Grant after-market...just need to thread the others.

This is what one looks like completed:

Ok, so there are two wheels, the Grant 704 http://www.grantproducts.com/products/view/49/
and the Grant 714,(which I can't find on their website) as in the above pics and this thread: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/095231.html

What's the difference?

One is a Mahogany and the other is a red Mahogany

One thing I dislike about my Fiero is my old , gooey wrinkly poor excuse for a steering wheel . This looks like something I will do to my car .Great tip , thanks Opie .

I also had the thought for non tan interiors.

An individual could hand sand the wheel and then re-stain in black and then re-varnish...just an idea.

ReMera UPDATE: She finally made it home!

ReMera UPDATES:

G1 dash color: Hampton Ebony/Rave Tumeric

WOW !!! That's looks awesome!

I forget you built this remara to sell, for personal use, or as a demo car for your shop ?

Exoticse,

This is for my personal collection and I currently have no partnership with any shop at this time.
I have two different shops that I deal with for my personal vehicles at this point.
One is a small shop here in TX and the other is ColorPro Fiberglass out of OK....excluding my personal shop (FieroCave)....where Stephen (MstangsBware) comes to assist with the engine swaps.

Speaking of that.....Mr. Poe...it is time to swap the 2.8 Turbo for the 3.4 Turbo
...hope you have your personal project wrapped up and you will be driving her to Spring Fling next weekend!

Mike from ColorPro is the only one that will be doing any of my body work or paint from here on out.
I think the ReMera speaks for the quality of work that Mike does.

TXOPIE, I sent you a pm and an email a while ago, did you get them?

Replied to PM.

ReMera UPDATES:

Separated the foam OEM padding from the stock carpet...very slow and tedious process...but now done:



Now to clean up the rust dust with vinger and then I will put a coat of plasti-dip over the entire lover surface to lock in a rust dust.

Then I will spray the tops with 3M adhesive and attach to the bottom of the new carpet to have the factory padding feel

[This message has been edited by TXOPIE (edited 03-24-2015).]

ReMera UPDATES: Rust-oleum all dry now and have the OEM foam pad laid in place:


I will get the carpet installed later today.

I will also be cutting my Gauge Pod and skeleton down sometime today as well...once that is done...then its waiting on the G1 dash and Mr.Mike's seat covers to arrive (any day now on the dash)...better be here before Saturday (fingers crossed).

ReMera UPDATES: Cut down the gauge pod down to correct size foe G1:


I have done this two other times...but still nerve racking to cut these up

ReMera UPDATES: Reinforced a falling apart headliner.

(reminds me of a Klingon bird of prey)



Used the following to build it back to a solid stiff and solid headliner:

• 3" wide strips of thin cardboard
  
• Medical gauze
  
• 3M Supper 77 Adhesive
  
• MEGA Hold hair spray
  
• 8x11 sheets of printer paper

Now I just need to recover in new material...then it will be good to go!

Man, that all looks beautiful.

Get the steering wheel yet?
