The first project I'm tackeling is the Side skirts. The car came with a decent set of GT side skirts and door trim, but it was never installed.

So far, I have the Drivers side rocker panel and the quarter panel piece on....

When I removed the original, there was a little rusing around the rivit holes, and some general scratches from trapped dirt and sand, so before intalling, I went over it with a wire wheel to strip it and then went over it with a few coats of some black semi-gloss. It then looked 100 times better then stock....

From there I sanded down the skirt and side trpim and rivited everything into place...

I'll post up photos when I find my USB cable... LOL

UPDATE:

I went to the local junk yard and found 2 Fiero's. A white 85 and a Black 84. There were some good peices in the cars, but nothing really that I needed. If the interior peices in Hurricane were not in such good shape, I could have easily raped the cars for the insides. I did manage to pick up a Passengerside fender to replace the cracked one and a pair of great headlight doors. I think I might have to go back to pick up a few more peices that are in just great shape. Thanks to U-Wrench-It in Virginia BEach for giving a 25%discount on top of there already sale prices.

1 Fender
2 headlight doors
1 intake hose
$15.39!!!!!!!!!!!

i'M GOINGTO GO INSTALL THEM RIGHT NOW AND i'LL SNAP A FEW SHOTS. Oops, sorry about the caps lock. LOL

Also the Dorr panels from The Fiero Farm have come in and they look great! I already put in the Drivers door panel in and will be putting in the passengerside one soon.

Also, I nabbed the map pocket, shifter boot, and e-brake boot and will be sending it off to Poland as templates for some great custom leather!

A big thank you also going out to all of the vendors and other members of the Pennock's community who have come together in donation of parts and/or their time and resources to make your project a reality. Looking forward to seeing your progress as it all comes together.

I'm just wating on a few more interior parts, then I'm going to do the interior all at once. Then From there I'm going to focus on the exterior. Which will include the install of a facotry sunroof, fastback conversion and chin spoiler install. Oh, and don't forget, the cool paint job I have in mind. I'm not letting that secrete out till it's on the car. But, if you have suggestions on a paint scheme, I'm more than open to consider your ideas. But first things first. Interior, then I'll move on.

Still need the following parts for interior...

1. Center console shifter bezel - Just needs to be straight and not cracked. I will be painting it.
2. Center console surround (any color, It's gonna get dyed a diffrent color)
3. Shift Knob
4. Pair of dark grey arm rests.
5. GT Gauges and stereo/ac surround to match.
6. Grey or black steering wheel.
7. Stereo system (including rear speakers)

I got everything else new from vendors and Will be going in VERY soon.

Stay tuned for the progress!

What kind of shift knob do you need? It is a manual trans right? I have one. Grey. Not leather wrapped though. If you want it it's yours. Just give me an address to send it to.
