Well the wiring harness goes through the center, but I guess that could be moved. All in all it would be a huge project since there isn't that incredibly much space for movement.

Great documentation I didn't know about the removable rear window either. I do agree I miss being able to open the sun roof on my GT like I can on my SE with sun roof. Did you just take the stock window into a glass shop and have them cut it, or is it all new custom pieces ? I love these stories on how a car becomes to be what it is... Keep us posted

Well, I did not exactly just get into Fieros in 2000. I had Triumph sports car since I was 15. I work as a sports car mechanic to pay my way through college. So I knew my way around cars. (Except computer controlled modern cars since they were not controlled that way back then). After getting married I was without a sports car for the first time in my life. I teach technology education in a high scool so one summer in 1987 I was looking for a project to work on during my summer vacation. I found a rebuildable wrecked 1987 Fiero GT. The car was brand new with all options including leather seats. It was hit on the passenger side from door on back. The car only had 2000 miles on it and still smelled new as well as having the factory warranty on it. I drove that car from 87 to 91 when my two daughters got too big to strap them in the passenger seat side by side. It was a sweet car but as you can see I was not totally new to Fieros when I purchased the red GT t-top.
