"concept GTR" dash build-up...Fie Ro style! ;) (Page 42/56)

I have lost a lot of time but starting to catch up The midconsole is almost ready...the sub housing took a lot of time. Still needs a little tweaking and final paint but its close to be considered finished...lol



Went to a local meeting today so I put everything roughly in place this morning

Do you have anything planned for the drivers side?

Fantastic work man.

Very very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing the interior in person soon. Are you coming over for the tranny before the meet?
Tusch JUL 31, 09:34 AM
I doubt you have hooked it up yet, but definately want to know how the sub sounds in that position.

Also, are you still working on a new gauge surround or are you just going to modify the stock one because of all the difficulties you ran into.

I should get several days off soon so I hope I can make it before the meeting. I had to replace a non-replace-able heater tube and fitting last week (started leaking bad) but the fiero runs fine and cool as usual ...hmm Autobahn hmmm

It isnt hooked up yet, I am also redoing the amp/cd changer rack so most of the system is disconnected. I ran the Boston sub in my first box in the same location, it had a tight bass and good sound quality...using the same speaker for this box.

The instrument cluster has become one of the last items to think about...still havent looked much into the TT cluster wiring to make it work with the stock housing. If it doesnt work I will go with seperate aftermarket gauges...
a bit like this...but different

You've been in Montreal too long hahaha. But I guess you can't beat the bagels, poutine, ladies, and well I could go on for days. hahaha

This car is shaping up to be the nicest Fiero on this Forum and maybe this planet? haha

Respectful designs, and no cheese (or fromage if you will) ricer mods like useless scoopes and under car lighting.

Keep up the good work, this thread is an inspriation to start yet another one of my failed projects

Sorry I am slow at posting updates.....so...more on the doorpanel pieces :
..Didnt like all the inward curves so I did some reshaping to give it more "body" where needed


I am using glasbubbles/microballoons more and more as a filler here because it bonds real good to fiberglass (same resin), lightweight and easy to sand

Before cutting the armrest and box door I made a mold, setting up

first layer of glass

etc...
I left some extra edge material before taking the mold, now I can trim the original panel to make it fit.
