mini wide body (Page 16/20) bjc 350 DEC 04, 01:03 AM Got the car back on the ground last evening. Richard came by while I was at work and did some buffing. Still needs another pass on the deck lid and rear bumper. New windshield being installed on Thursday. After Christmas lights, some more reassembly. Ordered some interior dress up stuff from Russ. Saving those Caddy tail lights for last. I know there are some who can't wait! The spots are on the camera lens, not the car. bjc 350 DEC 06, 01:44 AM Finally got a break in the weather so I could get the car outside. It looks pretty good, but still needs more buffing which Richard plans to do tomorrow. I have made a bit of progress on the moldings and detailing and reassembly, but still plenty to do. Windshield guys showed up and got it installed. After they left I was able to get the Khines quarter windows installed. They had been sitting in a box for more years than I would like to think, waiting for this day. Attached find some pictures of the progress. A new windshield! And the quarter windows. Spadesluck DEC 06, 02:42 AM What did you use to install your quarter windows out of curiosity? bjc 350 DEC 06, 11:23 AM I used the 3M tape. I bought a huge roll of it some years back, so went with it. It seems like they are really stuck on, but have heard now and then that this brand of windows can let go because of the paint used. We will see how it works out. Passenger side nearly hits the rolled up window when closing the door. Too late now! I was aware of that possibility, but still got it installed almost too close for comfort. First side went on fine, but guess I was over confident on the second one. hercimer01 DEC 06, 10:34 PM Very nice! What is the color? OEM? bjc 350 DEC 07, 01:18 AM Color is Inferno Red which was/is a Chrysler color. My 86 V8 car is the same color, though this paint job has more gold metallic in it than the 86. bjc 350 DEC 08, 12:15 AM Richard stopped by this morning to do some buffing on the hood, rear bumper and decklid. He found that I had managed to assemble the remainder of the beltline moldings by late last evening. After returning from a trip into town, I pulled the car outside between rain storms and took a few more pictures. Still have the rear light panel to wire and install. I noticed a pegged fuel gauge as well. He still has a bit of overspray to remedy on one door jamb and a few more niggly items to fix. I'm still waiting for some interior dress up items to arrive as well. Then a trip to DMV and an alignment shop. Lots of positive camber at the rear. A bit too much wheel gap at the rear as well. But the coil overs are set at their lowest setting, so the struts would have to be removed to fix that issue. Spadesluck DEC 08, 01:51 AM The car is coming along nicely. Not a fan of the lights but I certainly respect you for doing what you like. I like everything else, very cool changes that are subtle. bjc 350 DEC 08, 11:22 AM Spadesluck, I understand the tail light thing. But I just had to try it. I did save the better than average set of original lights as well as the mounting points, So could always go back. They will be controversial, but I like 'em. This has been a lot of slow work for the amount of change to the look. Unless, I look at the Fiero parked next to it and realize we did accomplish the change I was looking for. The stock body is really "slab sided" compared to the "Rokit's" look. Sometimes I have had to pull the cover of the V8 car to remind myself that it has been worth the work. Other than the lights being gaudy, I think we got a near production look of a more muscular Fiero. Now for the engine, right? Thanks for looking. bjc 350 JAN 01, 11:49 PM Happy 2020! Finally found some time to continue the work on the car. Holidays and family visits have taken up lots of time. Worth it to see the extended family, though. Got RW Upholstery interior kit installed. The center tunnel covers look a bit wrinkly in the flash pictures, but actually look fine in normal light. They are attached with velcro to the carpet, but my aftermarket carpet is cut pile unlike the stiffer factory carpet. So it is a bit tougher to get things smooth. There are a variety of shades of gray in the interior, but again, without the camera flash, they look much better. Fiero friend, Lucas brought me a hood tension spring so I could finally latch the hood. Fits pretty good. Radio antenna installed. More detailing and cleanup done. Installed Fiero Store trunk gasket. Fits great. Still need to install the new sunroof hardware. I am trying to get the glass to pull down into the new gasket a little more. Will see how that goes. Car still needs the exhaust tips installed after I weld in the correct pipe curves. Rear lighting panel still awaiting my wiring attempt. Air conditioning needs charged. Wheels need aligned. License plates/tags need done. Need to drive it to DMV so they can check out of state vin. Punch list of niggly things being picked away at.
