Race that looks really good. I have been thinking of that myself since I redid my seats with Mr Mikes in midnight and dark gray. Same colors as yours just reversed.
On the sunvisors, they are really easy. I reinforced mine with some new cardboard. I didn't have sewing machine that was heavy enough to sew through all that so I took them to an upholstry shop in town. They sewed them for me for $6. The whole thing including the drive to the shop took less than an hour. Do a search someone has already done a thread on this redo.------------------

Thanks, I will do a search. It looked really cool without sun visors and I almost left them off but I actually use them so they were necessary. I will post another photo when they are done. [This message has been edited by RACE (edited 09-20-2005).]

Tesmith66, sorry that I could not give you another +. You already have one from me for the steering wheel adapter.

first off, this is a great write up.
i'm attempting to redo my t-top headliner this weekend.
i took it out and it broke into two pieces. what type of resin/fiberglass
stuff do i need to fix it. i know i shouldn't do the whole headliner cause
it needs to flex to get back into the car.
how much material will i need?
what adhesive do i use?thanks,
thomas...

Thomas,
I would buy a yard of materialto be safe. You definetly will not use all of it with a T top. Use the left over material to do the sun visors. As for glue the contact cement works pretty good, stay away from whatever that first stuff was that I used. It is an easy job that gets great results if you take your time.

Great thread! lots of good info here. My 85 fiero I bought a couple weeks ago didn't even have the cloth on it, it had already follen down and was just pulled off some time ago. I am doin alot of interior work as well as a V8 swap over the winter. This thread has alot of useful info. Where are you guys getting your material from? I know you can order the headliners but it sounds like most ppl are just going out and buying material. thats probly the best route to go eh? im not even sure what material I need as I dont' have anything to compare it too....

Most fabric stores carry some headliner material or leather / pleather that you can use. Earl
