i have checked out the very detailed build site lots of times now and it will be my guide and so cool that its out there. I got it as i am planning to retire this year so need a project to keep me busy. I will cheak on the front wheel wells as i did not know that. I got paperwork with the car and a zip drive with pics of the fiero body being built. Looks like the builder did a good job but i am not a expert by any means

If it is an IFG Phantom, my on line manual may help. I replaced my pop ups with 300Zx lights. Documented in the Lights section. https://lambobuilder.com/manual.html
Also you will need to change the front passengers side wheel well opening as the car was not symetrical.
Good luck

Those vids are just what i need for help along the way. I believe its an ifg phantom kit. Its supposed to warm up soon so can start to figure things out. I was thinking the 300 zx lights would work but always best to check as the kit came with fiberglass pop ups and great a member has a set maybe 4 sale.

I detailed how I mounted the 300ZX lights in the Body section of this playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaPE0IsfT25dlJhh9RsWSR7Z7fHS6oBLg

Yes the 300zx headlights are the OE lights. Lamborghini used them and placed a carbon fiber brow on them to cover the Nissan name at the top of the lamp. So you won’t find an actual Lamborghini headlight available. Well if you do it’ll be someone charging more than they should.

They should. Dale Van Blockland built a black roadster from a kit like yours and it has the 300 ZX lights. Here's a link to his site. I have a used set of 300 ZX lights in storage for a build I never got to. I'm in Atlantic Canada.

Glad it's here and now the fun begins. I keep looking at it and wondering where to start. It's  set up for the 2.8 and a manual so that would be the easiest so will see. The body is still on backwards so that is no 1 on the list and Damm what color to paint it. I do like calypso coral kind of like a chev engine orange. Heh by chance does anyone know if the 300zx head lights will work.

So the car arrived this evening and i am pleasantly surprised. Having never seen it before its a complete kit and looks like everything is there and even extras like all the emblems, 2 full sets of gauges vdo and auto meter, door poppers,and of the small lights ect. its going to be tight getting it in the garage but will fit by a few inches if i nose it in. Nice after many months its here 

Hey Richard;

Congrats on the purchase.  You got yourself a very good deal on that car.

Good luck with the build

Yea i believe the yellow one is out east somewhere. It was built in BC then to Edmonton then to me and i sold it to another guy in Edmonton and from there it went out east. Truly a well built car. Red one was built in Toronto and i had it shipped to me in Alberta. Its in a friends collection now.

Do you know where the yellow car is now? I saw it for sale in Toronto area a few years back on Auto Trader. The most accurate VT coupe kit I've seen in Canada. I assume it was NAERC body.
Dale Van Blokland's build manual might be a good aid for your new IFG kit. He built a black IFG roadster.
