Hi Dan, yes the link you provided is the cover that I've seen around here on kijiji but I prefer the ones from the 2000+ Northstars.
I misled you on the wires - I'm ok with the plug wires being exposed now that I've dressed them up.
It's the electrical wires I want to hide or tidy up as much as possible as there are not many upgrades I've seen to the plastic split loom I bought.
I do have some chromed copper tubing left over and also considered running some wires in braided stainless hose.
In case anyone is wondering, the large chrome tubes I used for hiding vacuum hose are $5 bicycle seats posts from Canadian Tire.
P.S. Thanks for adding the decklid emblem to the photoshop - reminded me I have one of those from Bubbajoe to use somewhere

Gotcha! What about running the wires inside a rubber hose? Makes it look like another hose but hides in plain view. You can cut small holes where the wires exit and the hose is flexible.

Thanks guys, nice ideas.
Well the cip1 website doesn't sell just the filter king replacement filter but they advised it is a pretty common filter.
I ended up picking up this one that it the correct height but slightly smaller diameter
Fuel system is plumbed with 3/8" stainless hose and tubing

Rear rotors are cross drilled to match the fronts.
I owe Grandpa a bottle of scotch for this as he made the jig and drilled them for me
Picked up rest of body parts except roof panel - I have enough paint left so I'm going to paint roof body colour.
Here is the rear skirt (sorry cell phone pic)
Starting to get an idea how it's going to look...

 It's been a while since I checked out your thread... it's really coming together now! How much longer do you expect before you turn the key for the first time?

I'm really glad you picked up this car from bubba.
Went to a great owner who's finishing it up like it was meant to be! Nice

Could have been yours Chris but I have a feeling you're very attached to your Fiero and I'm glad to see all the compliments it gets here on the forum.
Chris is right though, I am fulfilling a promise to Bubba.

Buying the project felt more like a job interview that a car purchase

I can't believe how little you're asking for it! Only $2000!!!  I think the only reason you don't have guys lined up ten deep to buy it is that everyone is afraid they won't be able to do justice to the fine project you've started and haven't quite yet finished.

There is probably some truth to that statement.
I have put lots into the project (time and money) to get to to this point.

beleve me it hurts to sell the car but it hurts a hell of a lot more to see it in the yard not being finished because you just cant do it

Bubbajoe you should probably tell the guys that after a couple years downtime you got the itch despite the physical limitations and have a new secret project....

Thanks, first startup youtube video will be posted here on the thread - I anticipate that happening in a couple weeks...although it's surprising how long the details can take
Last night I spent 3-4 hours finishing up the fuel system.
Thanks again for your attention to detail on your thread - it inspired the cross drilling of my rear rotors after you documented how easy it can be done.
