Semi final position of seat. ebrake and seat belt.  I can gain another 1/2  inch head room by adjusting my Simple frame.

Pretty tight where the ebrake handle is.... thinking  ::scratch about a REDO of IKR side pieces to smooth out the top edge from the 90 degree it is now.  This would give me 1/2 inch at the top of the piece. Also maybe move the ebrake handle forward Since the seat is pretty much in the back position. 

Will mull it over while drinking an adult beverage! ::toothy

Worked on getting my seat mounted to the lowered floor pan so I could finalize the steering column.

Made a simple frame to mount the seat to.  Will cut a notch in the front of the frame and cut the frame in the rear so it slopes.

Mocked up the frame the seat and the e brake handle.  Seems to work/fit nicely, although the e brake need to go towards the rear to be closer to the OEM position

had to do a REDO on what was a nice set of MM paddle shifters, that came with the car.

gouged metal, drops of resin, chipped paint, gray primer over spray 888o

Sand, base & clear
That works!

With the steering column out.... some rust and jagged edges to clean up.  Will use rubber edging to protect the instrument cluster wiring.

Prepped the rust and used po15

Also cleaned and prepped the floor and any cuts to the body that had rust on the drivers side.

Time for a cocktail!

The existing sebring column rear mount was rubbing on the brake booster lever an had to be cut out.

Time sure does fly a MM post back in 2009 on the sebring column.

To attach the end of the fiero steering column to the Sebring column, used a tight fitting bushing to go over the splines. Then cut two slits in the fiero column end, the bushing and welded all three together.

ZZP fuel logs and injectors installed.  I really like them over the oem fuel rail.

Arruat shipped the REDO on the front spindles and rear caliper brackets today.  Hopefully they are correct this time.

Simple Man...
My Taj Garage did a nice job but with that method you still have to remove the inner door panel to access the screws to remove the door skin.  My method has the removal screws at both ends of the door, inside the door jambs.

It is a lot more work but think about making the door skins removable.  That will make it so much easier to work on anything and everything inside the door while you are building AND when you are done and need to service it.
My Flickr page has a lot of pictures of how I did mine.

Received my inner & outer doors from Rhode Island.     ;D

Half the price of other quotes received.  ::thumbup

Packaged well and are really finished off nicely !!  ::toothy

Some mods needed for the OEM window glass.

I try to get something done on the REDO everyday  ::thumbup

The prior owner had the PCm just laying loosely on the bar that holds the rear engine mounts

Bough the GM pcm mounting bracket and welded up  mounting points

Decided on having the wiring hanging in the down position as it seemed cleaner.... but that could change once the engine is back in  ::scratch
