It's unbelievable. Some people have said in this thread that it's better than actual Ferrari interior work. Now being able to inspect it up close and hold it in my hands, I would have to agree. Ok, so I've never actually seen the inside of a real Ferrari, but this is outstanding work. After I finish the bodywork on the car, I'll put the interior in. If I scratch it, I'll have no choice but to mortally wound myself somehow.

A word of advice on that alarm system: i put one in my kitcar that sits more than it drives. i found the battery drained or too low to start almost every time I wanted to go for a drive  . I believe the cuprit was the proximity sensor but i'm not 100% certain. So i tested the alram then unplugged the power connections to the main brain and also the harness going into the sensor. No problems since. If you're still working on the car and it's sitting alot, you might consider battery drain from the alarm.[This message has been edited by PaulJK (edited 08-31-2007).]

Thanks for the advice. I've been disconnecting the battery after I work with it. Been having battery problems with all three of my cars. ------------------

Not much accomplished today. Tested my parking lights and turn signals to make sure they all worked. They didn't. =\ The left front was dead. Replaced the bulbs, nothing. Cleaned the ground, still nothing. Finally ended up replacing both sockets for the turn signal on the left front. That was about three hours worth. Then on to the alarm install. Check out my other thread on why I pretty much got absolutely nowhere with this today http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/085708.html Frustrating to say the least. Frustrating day when I figure that I spent about six hours working on the car today and my work I was able to complete amounted to the replacement of two light bulb sockets. Oh well. Good days and bad days.

Whade,
Let me know about how many hours it takes to install your new interior. I am next in line and hope to get the install a bit more perfected based on what you learned during the process. I am especially interested in problems that you run into and any solutions that you may have to resolve them. If I ever get back in country and your interior is not complete, I may run up to help and learn something.

It'll be a while before I install the interior because my plan is to get all of the body and mechanical work done first. I'm saving the new interior for dead last to try and keep it clean. Gotta get this alarm system issue resolved first. =\ ------------------

You are still far ahead of me on this one. I still have the cradle/engine swap to complete, paint, and the new interior to install. At the current rate this should take a few years.
