Last night I messed around and did some dry fitting of the interior parts I have on hand. Here is what is looks like right now.

Here is the console I got from Tom @ TRP. All in all it was worth it for the money for a OEM splashed console, quality isn't all there but will def work.

Good show did you drive with out the hood on ?

Ya the hood and everything but the doors. I still need to find hinges for the front hood and rear engine hatch. so for now they are just screwed in place.

Finished up AC condenser brackets and reinstalled the front bumper. The fan will be mounted as a pusher and cooling ducts will be plumed from the front grills to the fan. There will still be plenty of room to finish up on the front trunk area and the exhaust from the fan/AC condenser will go under the car like on the factory Fiero. This will be wired to the AC fan relay so it will come on when the AC is running.

Also drove the car around for about an hour last night to see what the temps are running and so far the factory fans kick on at 185 and temps cycled between 180 and 190 (this was monitored on the ODB2 port with a scan gauge II) . Car never got any hotter running around in 100 degree temps.  ::wave for now

Got around to installing my AC condenser over the weekend. Not much progress, stinking hot weather! At this pace prob going to be a few years   But really im going to be starting on wet sanding the body the next few weeks and work on some of the dreaded body work while its hot outside! My new splashed console should be in soon that I ordered from Tom @ TRP motorsports (2000kits.com) I will update the quality as soon as it arrives. So long for now

Just letting anyone know that is following my build I'm still here just waiting on a few parts and doing some trial and error on hinges for the engine cover and front trunk lid... Thought I had the engine cover hinged good and then it hit the main body  :'( guess that's why Lamborghini made those god awful long ones they use! Placed an order on a center console from Tom @ TRP Motorsports 2000kits.com ill let everyone know the quality just as soon as it arrives... It is a OE splashed one and he only charged $250 for it. So long for now, glad there are some builders making progress  ::salute

I really like these inner panels too. They look terrific! I wonder if I could just trim it back further for an OEM hood?

He has the molds to make a standard sized OEM version also.

Looks so nice. Thank you for the pictures  :)

Mind if I steal your inner hood idea? I agree it looks so much nicer and less "kit". Plus should strengthen it and allow easier latch/hinge mounting.


Bartman made these for the G28 hoods which are about 2" longer than an OEM hood.  He took a splashed panel and stretched it out so it fits our cars and I think he did an awesome job. 

Here is the thread on them,  http://lamboclone.com/index.php?topic=99.0

If you like the inner hood panel, check out my roadster engine cover http://lamboclone.com/index.php?topic=235.0

I don't know if he's still selling the inner hood panel but it might be worth asking him.

Thanks everyone for the comments... Wish I didn't have to completely dissemble it again for final welds, paint and mount the chassis to the body...

MD you still needing those wheel measurements? I'm in the shop right now
