My 88 Formula Interior Redesign (Page 34/87)

UPDATES!

I could not be happier with the way this has turned out! I spent a few minutes sanding and the shot a layer of black. Other than a few areas to sand and repaint... The console is 95%... Check it out! The black really makes the entire console POP!

Nice and smooth


I have to get a can flat clear coat to protect all the work I've done


Another view


The black really makes ANY imperfections pop out - which is good because I only found a few - imagine that?


Another - you can see the slight waves at the front of the cup holder


There are a few other pics which highlight the clean lines - but Photobucket is acting up. I'll post those tomorrow. This weekend should be getting the hinge ready and the felt applied to the glove box and lid areas! The final plan is this - the main console and body of the armrest will be painted using the texture Lunitec Paint Systen from Germany - but that's a way off fron now. The decorative piece that goes around the armrest will stay the current color to add contrast to the texture. And of course the lid will be white and high gloss. As I said, I could not be happier.

Until then!

More Images!

As I posted last night - Photobucket finally updated... Here are a few more

This image shows another area where I have to sand


The area around the 12 volt outlet needs a little attention


One more beauty shot - it really turned out nice


OK. Question!!!!!!

Below is a pic of 3 wires that center around the old cig lighter assembly. When I pulled the old lighter I was foolish enough NOT to label which wire goes where - my fault. The new 12 volt outlet I'm installing has 2 prongs. Which wires do I use and what is the extra wire for? Did I make a boo-boo?


Thanks guys!

The Fiero lighter has a light in it. One of those wires is power to this light. One is ground for the whole assembly and one is power for the lighter. I am currently a few miles (3000 or so) from a Fiero so I cannot tell you which is which. If you have a volt meter or test probe you can check for 12 volts to ground. I am pretty sure the light is controled by the head light switch. One of the wires (probably the smallest) will have 12 volts when the lights are on and not when they are off. One of the other wires will have 12 volts constant. The last wire should have 0 volts and is the ground.

Your not going to cover it in leather/ vinyl? It seems like that would be a much more efficient way. You wouldn't need to fill in the imperfections, you wont need to worry about scratching the paint, etc. Just my .02. It turned out great though!
