Repairing the stock stereo wiring harness
The original harness was cut for a custom stereo installation. I used a stock harness I pulled from a local yard to repair it back to OEM.
Fiero interior has been dismantled
I dismantled the custom interior pieces from the chassis. It involved almost 2 months of custom fabrication to install the new interior, and it took a mere 20 minutes to uninstall everything. A few more pieces need to be installed on the dash, …but the…
Fiberglass gap fix for the Fiero PISA dash
After the fiberglass cured, I pulled off the duct-tape and trimmed the edges. It will require a little more sanding and body-filler to finish, …but I’m quite pleased with how it turned out.
Dash gap fix
I decided to fix the dash gap with fiberglass, rather than rely on upholstery to cover up the misalignment. Duct-tape was used to form the shape, and act as a removable barrier. It turned out quite well.
Recognizer update
Updated the main legs with a skeletal neon glow effect.

A little progress on the Tron Recognizer [3D]
I’m making it a little different from the 2010 movie.
Fiero dash – added lower steering column cover
Adding the steering column cover was pretty straight forward. I needed to trim the edges off, and drill two holes at the top to hold it in place. Other than that, the stock mounting locations were used.
Fiero middle armrest console
Today I finished installing the middle armrest console – it involved a little bit of trimming. Unfortunately it has a rather large gap on the passenger side – i’ll need to get creative to solve that. I also started mounting the switches. I did not…
Fiero PISA dash – installation of the instrument cluster
In order to successfully mount the main Fiero instrument cluster, I needed to drop the steering column. Once it was disconnected, I could properly mount the gauges. Note that the original location for the “hidden” cluster mount actually maintains alignment – but it’s “underneath” the…
Fiero dash speakers and HVAC vents
I had some time today to cut out the holes for the dash speakers and the HVAC vents. I used a cardboard template to help transfer the hole locations.
