The front pins on the roof were not strong enough. One of them
snapped off. I drilled out the bullets and tapped them 1/4" x
20. I then threaded a 1/4" bolt into the bullet. I cut out the
old pins from the roof. I placed the roof in position after
masking off the front frame. I clamped the roof in position and
then inserted the new stronger bullets into the roof opening. I
then bondoed them in place, let dry and removed the roof. After
finishing off the area where the new bullets were inserted, it
now fits on the back deck lid. I still need to resolve the roof
sealing issue.

I
need to work on the Northstar computer, but in order to remove
the computer, it involved taking out the seats, subwoofer,
center consol and switches. I decided to open up the back area
of the consol and create a cover using the original Fiero light.
After removing the interior, I enlarged the opening on the back
of the consol. I installed a foam covered bar for the computer
to rest on when put back in place. I connected the Fiero lights
to the dome lights. By adding foam to the end pieces, and
masking off the lights, I covered it with headliner foam.
Because I wanted to still use the map lights, I cut out the foam
so I could push the buttons on or off through the upholster.
This essentially hides them but still provides functionality.
When finished upholstering, it provides a nice functional cover
that allows me to still have access to the computer.
