Welcome to our obsession. I'm sorry to hear about your father's passing.
That's a very nice car. Very nicely done.

I think that's probably my favorite Miata dash, ever. (My Miata was an "NA" - aka 1st gen. That dash, not so much, although the guts were mostly the same as the NB.)

The console doesn't appear to be from a Miata. Maybe a one-off? I could be mistaken.

Welcome to the forum! Sorry to hear about your father but I am glad you decided to keep the Fiero love going. That dash looks real nice. I have purchased many parts from "The Fiero Store", I will admit their shipping is a bit ridiculous at times, however they do offer a lot of parts that are no longer around. They do offer a great service to a very small community.

Do you know about the Fiero's at Carlisle 25th Anniversary Celebration? Being how you are already in Pennsylvanian and all.




Thank you! Yes, I plan on attending Carlisle. Unfortunately, I will not be entering the car this year as I am a little nervous on the distance. This is the first year I'm working on her and it was sitting around for a while. Since we are finally having some good weather, I plan on taking some trial runs on long distance to see how she handles it.

I have been in talks with Jen from MAFOA about the group for carlisle so I hope to run into everyone who goes!

Thanks! Honestly, I am not sure about the middle console. Knowing my dad, he might have Frankensteined it from other things. That's one amazing quality that he had. He could look at something and know exactly what and how to do it.. and I envy that as I am not as creative as he was lol

but yes, the dash is from the Miata. I remember him talking about it and how he saw someone else do it and really liked it. I have searched everywhere online for the original idea but have not found anything about it. It is honestly my favorite part of this car. If I find the original thread or how-to on it, I will certainly post it.

Thanks,
Matt
