The quarter glass ( I'm guessing your referring to the glass behind the driver) wouldn't work because you'll need the wrap-around tongue 'n grove near the b-pillar plus the b-pillar is at a angle on the Nissan. Besides that, the Nissan window is way too big. There's many other side glass that is smaller, but still you have to worry about the tongue and grove fit.




As you know the sail window is curved inward;


The sail window tucks up and under. You'd need to rework the entire area using a different glass otherwise doing something along the lines what Whodeanni did.



I have other ideas that are better IMHO that are uniquely Fiero-ish.

I payed a visit to Trendz yesterday for #015 side glass. I think the pipe dream might work (at least in my head it does, hehe). It was hotter than heck in Bakersfield and I was glad to leave. I saw a few cars being painted and a nice parked Thunderbird. Can you say,..."sweet."


Sorry, camera phone picks.








A closer view;

I picked up the two side glass last Thursday from Trendzs and the parts fit perfectly---- just as I invisioned it many years ago, but on #020.

I now need to call JimmyS for the other part of the puzzle.


That is all.

quote Originally posted by Blueiii: Curly, Thanks again (in advance) for posting pictures of the bumper install. This has been the most frustrating part of the build so far!!

I had a few pics from this year. You'll notice the metal bracket the runs the width of the bumper on top.

You'll need to loosen the hood bolts in order to install the fiberglass nose. The corner piece (the rubber thingie) will get in the way.




You'll need a hex wrench to remove the screws in order to install JimmyS' fiberglass front bumper.

1. Remove the plastic stock bumper (you don't need to unscrew the hex bolts at this time since the plastic bumper is very flexible.
2. Prior to installing JimmyS bumper, unloosen all the screws
3. Leave the metal bracket on top of the bumper (close to the position needed to screw hex bolts in).

You can see the metal bracket the runs the length of the bumper (it's the one with the hex bolts).

In this pic there's a hex wrench in the middle sticking upward.

4. Carefully, place JimmyS bumper onto the bumper rack (try not to push the metal bracket too far away from the hex holes. You'll need to raise the fiberglass bumper up & over the metal bracket.

Here's a pic of the screw holes lined up.




5. Start on one corner, tightening the hex screw and move down the rack as you bolt each hex bolt.
6. Once you near the center of the bumper you'll need to unloosen the hood a bit so that you can tightened the center hex bolts.
This should take you 10-additional minutes due to the nose being fiberglass.
