Pontiac Fiero 300zx bumper
Today I decided to change the front bumper on the Fiero. The 300zx bumper, or the “Scarab”, is a rarity. I’ve never seen a Fiero with one installed in Canada; I purchased it via Kijiji. PISA makes the bumper, and the fiberglass work is top…
Fiero warehouse camaro lip spoiler
Installing this spoiler was pretty straight forward. The instructions were written on it – measurements were made on the deck-lid and a silver sharpie was used to mark the points for drilling. Once everything was lined up, the deck-lid was sanded down to the gel-coat…
Fiero interior is pretty much DONE
I need to install the interior door panels, …and finish installing the sound system, …but aside from those two elements, the interior is done.
Fiero custom dash is now installed!
Big day. After 7 months of hard work, the dash is finally back in. I still need to add the components – such as the extra gauges and the MP3 player. But it is satisfying to see this interior come together. FINALLY.
Fiero custom centre console
The upholstery on the centre console/armrest is now complete. The openings for the shifter and the window switches were created.
Fiero fiberglass headliner
I finished the upholstery on the headliner. The sunroof and overhead light outlets were covered by the headliner material from the upholstery shop. Due to the gap between the headliner and the sunroof, I used foam tape to fill in the seam.
Prepping the Fiero dash for upholstery
I’m just finishing off a few outstanding items: – Completion of the glove box with magnets. – Addition of a multi-switch plate inside the glove box – I will wire additional lighting (for car shows) to these switches in the future. – Completed the speaker…
Additional support for dash trim, radio, and speakers
I attached 18 gauge metal tabs to the back of the dash – I used 22 gauge metal before, but the screws were stripping it too easily. I also attached tabs to mount the speakers and speaker covers. JB weld was used to secure the…
Fiero HVAC system is complete
I have completed the installation of the HVAC system. The 2.5″ SHOP-VAC tubing was used to run the air-flow, and a plate (made of fiberglass) was fabricated – this allowed the tubes to mount to the stock HVAC outlet. This was a time consuming modification…
Fiero HVAC ducts
Not the prettiest application of fiberglass, but it works! A fresh coat of paint always makes it look better.
Fiero glove box
It took me a while to think of how I was going to keep the glove box door secured during driving. The solution was simple – VELCRO.
Fiero PISA dash glove box install
It took a while for me to think about how I was going to mount the glove box door. I found a set of 1″ brass hinges (at Canadian Tire) that were small enough to be hidden, …but big enough to provide support strength. The…
Fiero interior has been dismantled
I dismantled the custom interior pieces from the chassis. It involved almost 2 months of custom fabrication to install the new interior, and it took a mere 20 minutes to uninstall everything. A few more pieces need to be installed on the dash, …but the…
Fiberglass gap fix for the Fiero PISA dash
After the fiberglass cured, I pulled off the duct-tape and trimmed the edges. It will require a little more sanding and body-filler to finish, …but I’m quite pleased with how it turned out.
Dash gap fix
I decided to fix the dash gap with fiberglass, rather than rely on upholstery to cover up the misalignment. Duct-tape was used to form the shape, and act as a removable barrier. It turned out quite well.
Fiberglass headliner
This was one of the easier installs I have done over the past year – no fabrication was required. This is the Fiero Store fiberglass headliner. I acquired this almost 4 years ago and it’s been sitting in my basement waiting to be installed. All…
