MrJlr,
That came out great!!!... And boy, it brings back memories. I know EXACTLY how much labor and time that took. Did the same thing last winter. Very nice outcome. Enjoy her.

Looks very nice.
BTW, installed the bulbs you sent me and will send pics soon. Have had the dash out three times and now have the steering column torn apart. Hope to have everything back together by the weekend. Have a great day, Bill

Love the look of Fiero seats in a C3. I'd do it myself if it weren't for the loss of headroom.

Great looking wheel, it might be even better looking than my stock 79 wheel. I might get one if it comes in factory colours other than black.

Amazing transformation, you should be very proud. Just get her bum down a bit more and you're golden.

Also, it's leather (original is plastic!), thicker, and 2" smaller in diameter.
The smaller diameter has 2 advantages....more room between your lap and the bottom of the wheel, and the steering doesn't feel as "loose" because a smaller diameter wheel doesn't rotate as far out on the edges...
Damn, that last part is hard to explain....hope you get what I mean. It's a geometry thing! Imagine a wheel 36".....your hands would have to move more as you rotated it....
