WOW! I have to say that interior is the best looking Fiero interior I've ever seen! It looks like it could be a modern high end factory car. That is SWEET!!!

Countach711...
Then my goal was achieved.
That is known as the G1 dash and door panels. I originally photoshopped them about 3 or so years ago. It was a modern high end looking interior based off of the Lambo Gallardo.
After sharing my images with Rob (Amida) and pestering him for some time...he agreed to make it. If you are not familiar with Rob's work...you need to go check out his thread.
He is an artist and perfectionist. He has been doing F-Car replica interiors for years and the best in the business at it. His F-355 interior is 2nd to none...don't think you will find one person on this Forum that could honestly disagree with that statement .
I am just the MUSE...Rob is the true artist that made my dream into a reality.
Well, rest assured that you did indeed reach your goal! I was checking out Amida's build and saw that he is the genious behind the interior. I was trying to research how to purchase such an interior but couldn't find a topic. Is there a page in his build that discusses it? Costs and such?
Died the grey carpet black with Dupli-color's product and picked up a nice set of floor mats:
Replaced rear driver's side tail light lens...the one it came with was cracked and had a hole.
Obtained a driver's side inside power control bezel...the one it came with was broke in two pieces...down the middle.
Swapped out the sad stock S13 seats for an almost pristine set of last year s14 seats.
Now just waiting for the leather package to arrive from the UK...then I will finish out the interior.
Going to remolding some sun warped plastic (mainly inner door panels) with my new Steinel HG 2310 LCD Electronic Heat Gun. I also will be utilizing the heat gun to fix a bunch of aged automotive plastic...better than any other process IMO.
Once everything else is back together and correct...then will put on the red&black carbon fiber trim.

Non-Fiero UPDATES: Started upholstering the interior of the 240SX with the leathers from the UK:
Glove box, e-brake, and visors are now completed:
Still have the main dash, center console, and pillars to upholstery.
I also created the side replacement decals in Photoshop:
Started working on the passenger's side door panel...will finish it tomorrow and do the driver's side as well. [URL=http://s1086.photobucket.com/user/txopie/media/20150720_163554_zps3rhhituu.jpg.html]

I see you have mounted a rear view camera on the ReMera. I have one on my 308 and it's the only way to go due to the huge blind spots. I have mine wired to be on at all times and it has saved me on numerous occasions when I've had to merge to the right. Your craftsmanship and imagination is second to none.
On your daughters J-Ray's Modified 87 GT build, I saw that it has the Norm's front tilt clip. Did you get any kind of gasket for the headlight covers? I bought the Claytonto Build Fiero, and my headlight covers leak a bit when we wash her. I have a DIY plan, but wondered, if they originally came with a seal of sorts. I tried an email to Norm with no reply.
I also saw in one of the photos what looked like an Al Lindsey Corvette panel. Are you planning to use it on the build or would consider parting with it? If your undecided, I might have something you'd might consider trading it for. NOT MY V8 FIERO! LOL. PM me and I'll fill you in.
Any chance that you will be making roof panels? I could really use one of your panels for my lil red GT. It's my daily driver and she has a lot of cracks all over the panel. I can fix... but your panel looks like a nice quick fix.

Robert,
No seal on mine when I got it, and I had the same concerns about leakage as you are experiencing. So this weekend I was planning on installing my CREE LED bulbs and then sealing them with black silicone. With the failure rate being so low on CREE LED...it will be quite some time before I have to pull the silicon and redo to replace the light itself.
Good eyes on the Vette rear panel...haven't decided what I am going to do with that as of yet, but will let you know if I decide to part with it.
Also no on the roof panels at this time. Have the molds for the rood panel, but too much other fiberglass work in front of it...maybe this winter I will produce a few of them.
Non-Fiero UPDATES: Working on the driver's side interior door panel today.
I also utilized my new digital heat gun to heat up the plastic enough to fixing the warping from the TX sun on the top of the door panels...level and looking good now.
I will utilize this same technique to fix the rear plastic trim panel that goes around the inside of the convertible top...which have warped upward as well.

Steve,
Good idea with the rear camera being a full-time option...going to wire it so the infocenter has it another input option that can be set with split screen.
and thanks for the complement...I just try to have fun with it.

I don't think you really need to worry about water leakage with your light setup to be honest. Those look like the same Hella 90mm units that are used with the low profile buckets. If they are the hella units are sealed and weather-proof. Same kind used here: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/A...120111-2-107093.html

I agree; I just don't like the water stain it makes on the light base. Plus, it just shouldn't do that. -Robert
Argenta UPDATES: Well dropped the tank...clean it, painted it and how have it back in stalled with new pump and lines.
Looks like only about one more good evening like last night to get this engine swap completely finished up.
I should have taken a later shot of the tank completed ...we cleaned up all the wiring to the pump as well that you see in the shot above...we found wire nuts which we removed and did the wiring correctly including shrink sleeves (both inside and outside wires).

Argenta UPDATES: Dogbone completed...but Matt is just waiting on bushings to arrive this week...then he will ship to me. J-Ray's Modified 87 GT UPDATES: Getting the audio upgrades prepped and ready for installation.
Ordered a stealth wing mount from BTR...will paint them black.

J-Ray's Modified 87 GT UPDATES: Preparing her interior...my little girl wanted a black interior...so it will be a black and carbon fiber interior.
Her car will be delivered tomorrow since I have not had the time to run offer to the shop (80 miles away).
Then its on to installing her interior, replace her rear tail lights with non-de-laminated pair, rear wing, windshield, headlights, and a few other finishing touches. Then a good wash and clay bar.
Fast and dirty rim painting since it's getting new tires...making a set of gold lace rims for my daughter's Fiero...the gold will look good with the dark grey metallic.
Ordered a few odds and ends from Rodney.
