Fiero sub woofers
I finished the installation of the Fiero sub woofers, and powered up the SST radio for a test run. I still have a wiring mess to hide, …but it sounded great!
Custom mouting plate for the SST
The new SST radio comes with a flush mounting kit. This allows the controller to be mounted “properly” in the dash – rather than using the standard bracket. In order to mount it in the Fiero, …like everything else, …fabrication needs to be done. I…
New Fiero audio system has arrived
My new audio system arrived in the mail the other day. It is called the Secret Audio SST – “Stealth Sound Technology”. In other words it is a radio system designed for vehicles without a standard radio/deck DIN size.
Fiero interior is pretty much DONE
I need to install the interior door panels, …and finish installing the sound system, …but aside from those two elements, the interior is done.
Fiero seats are installed
After 2 years, the seats are back in the Fiero. I can actually sit in the car now. In the pic I have a pair of old seat covers on them. I want to keep them protected for the remaining installations.
Fiero Ferrari euro shifter
I installed the Rodney Dickman Euro “Ferrari” shifter to the 4-speed shifter assembly.
Fiero custom dash is now installed!
Big day. After 7 months of hard work, the dash is finally back in. I still need to add the components – such as the extra gauges and the MP3 player. But it is satisfying to see this interior come together. FINALLY.
Rear speaker covers are installed
Since the original tabs were broken on the speaker covers, I came up with a new way of attaching them to the interior “A” pillar piece. Home Depot sells these nylon based nuts and bolts. With a black coat of paint, they fit right in.
Fiero carpet is installed
Installation of the carpet is complete. I also installed the back firewall cover.
Installation of the Fiero carpet
Today I began the installation of the Fiero Store carpet I purchased over 4.5 years ago. It’s over-sized, so I need to trim down the edges. Exciting!
Fiero dash vent
I re-used the original grille for the front window vent on the PISA dash. I cut off all the mounting tabs, sandblasted the old paint off, then I put on a fresh coat of black paint to match the rest of the interior. An epoxy…
Fiero custom centre console
The upholstery on the centre console/armrest is now complete. The openings for the shifter and the window switches were created.
Fiero interior pieces are back from upholstery
The interior pieces came back from upholstery, and all I can say is WOW. I can’t wait to get these installed! The pictures don’t do them justice.
Fiero alarm system wiring is done + more painting
I have completed the wiring of the alarm system. With all the black wire-loom, it looks like something from a sci-fi movie. I have also started painting the dash support pieces to match the rest of the interior trim.
Fiero alarm siren and custom LED switches
Today I finished mounting the alarm system siren. I used an aluminum bracket to attach it to the chassis. I also mounted three custom LED switches (purchased last year) to the interior power window plate. I will run the fog lights to one of the…
Prepping the Fiero dash for upholstery
I’m just finishing off a few outstanding items: – Completion of the glove box with magnets. – Addition of a multi-switch plate inside the glove box – I will wire additional lighting (for car shows) to these switches in the future. – Completed the speaker…
Revisit the Fiero glove box
The Velcro option was not working well. So I came up with another solution – MAGNETS. I used epoxy to glue a 9″ piece of metal to the glove box door, and I secured 4 magnets to the internal adjuster plate.
Fiero HVAC system is complete
I have completed the installation of the HVAC system. The 2.5″ SHOP-VAC tubing was used to run the air-flow, and a plate (made of fiberglass) was fabricated – this allowed the tubes to mount to the stock HVAC outlet. This was a time consuming modification…
Fiero ducts are mounted
The ducts were secured to the fiberglass dash using something called a Chicago nut/bolt fastener – they are also called barrel nuts/bolts. They have a very low profile, so it won’t interfere with the upholstery or the trim pieces. The couplers I glassed in are…
Fiero glove box
It took me a while to think of how I was going to keep the glove box door secured during driving. The solution was simple – VELCRO.
Fiero PISA dash glove box install
It took a while for me to think about how I was going to mount the glove box door. I found a set of 1″ brass hinges (at Canadian Tire) that were small enough to be hidden, …but big enough to provide support strength. The…
Solution for custom Fiero HVAC
I’ve decided against the installation the stock HVAC system – it was causing fitment issues with the PISA dash. So I’m going to run a custom venting system using vacuum tubing. More details to follow….
Fabrication of custom bracket for Fiero junction box
Since I am installing the PISA Fiero dash, I have some room to add an electrical junction box. This junction box will act as a future expansion for interior electronics. I used an existing bracket I pulled from the Fiero and welded it onto another…
