Thanks all for the comments.
Here's a list of what I want to do to the car next:
Paint all the "scoop" mesh black or a dark charcoal. There is a color out there in Rustoleum called "Cast Iron". I painted the motor in my 86 Coupe this color and I am going to paint the rear vent this color and see how it looks - I can always change it to black.
Finish the AC!
Detail under the hood - clean it up - repaint it semi gloss black.
Install new windshield.
Detail under the decklid - clean it up and paint it semi gloss black - detail the engine compartment and reinstall the trunk carpet.
Rehab the interior - remove all the intierior - repaint the trim, dash and console pieces and clean the carpet.
Buy/Fab and install new belt line trim - not sure what I am going to use yet. It had a simple "stick on" black door trim/molding. I need to look around and see what's available.
The right front lower valance brakets are bent and allows the valance to hang too low - I will tear it apart and fix that.
Not sure where I will start first - trying to sell it at the moment but so far there is not much interest. I'll start working on it this weekend though. It would be nice to actually "complete" a project before I move on to another one.
More later!
Pat

Pat,
I think you can find a bulk roll of black self adhesive body side moulding at Alamo or APS wareshouse that should work. Or, you could just paint the channel black like on the Mera.[This message has been edited by Rick 88 (edited 06-21-2011).]

First off - I need to raise some funds to buy my son a reliable driver - he's off to college in the Fall and secondly, I need to make room for a new project! The whole fleet if up for sale. My plan is to move to of the Fiero's - which ever one does not sell will be the one I keep as a driver.

Not sure I quite understood what you wrote... so are you moving away from the Fiero all together?

I'll still have the Formula - just need to raise funds to build my next dream machine - I have always wanted a Cobra. I've come to realize that crawling around on the garage floor is getting harder and harder to do. I figure I need to get after it now before I get to the point where I can't. I am actually leaning toward the Factory 5 Daytona Coupe. I'll never be ble to afford a "real" one at 10 million bucks so why not build my own?

The XTC has sold to a new owner. Not sure if they are a PFF member? Hopefully, the new owner will continue to add updates as the car goes forward. Congrats to the new owner. I will update when the car ships.
Thanks to everyone that has helped, commented and watched this thread.
Pat
Update:
Just talked to the new owner - car is going to Colorado next weekend![This message has been edited by katatak (edited 07-24-2011).]
