I am going to restore a Indy for a client. I am excited to start on this project, it should be a lot of fun!!

I need some parts though. So if you have them please let me know, and I need them shipped to zip 95834. So shoot me a price with shipping.

I need the following,

A NICE pair of notch back tail lights.
Shifter knob for automatic, leather wrapped, any color, prefer Indy light gray.
Maybe a Indy steering wheel.
A 84 Shifter surround plastic for a automatic in nice shape.

I will post photos as this build goes along. But here a few to start it out.






All I can say is this baby is going to look sweet when its done!!

please tell me you spent not much over 600 for that car because it sold in woodland for 600 and then the new owner was selling it for 2500 3 months later?

I didnt buy it. I am restoring it for the owner. And believe it or not, its not the same car from woodland. Crazy huh? I saw that on CL too. I thought the same exact thing. This owner had this one shipped up from LA. I saw all the paper work.

I might have a shifter shroud around here. I'll let ya know. If i do you can have it just pay for shipping.

Checked here? https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum4/HTML/056212.html

Let me know!! I will gladly pay for the part.

I am just happy to save this Indy.

I found an Indy horn button in with my parts that I'd be willing to part with. I wouldn't expect much, maybe enough to cover shipping and buy a cheap lunch for myself. Let me know.

PM sent.

Chris. Your in fing luck! The house got sold and there is one week to get property. My dad is getting crap I want however. I have 3 out of the 4 parts your looking for. Shoot me a PM and I will send you the address. Fell free to take whatever you want. You were always a nice person so consider it a gift. The house is in colfax. My mom is in jail and my dad does not know what to do with the fiero crap. I can shoot you his number too (he also wrecked his mustang and needs a door/fender)

Thanks Kris. This bad boy is going to nice when I am done. I love restoring Fieros.

Motor torn apart! It had some oil leaks, needed new vacuum lines and a full and complete tune up. We will also do motor mounts.

Talk about luck. As we tore into the motor we found a awesome surprise. This car has a brand new motor!! The head was SPOTLESS, and we pulled the push rod cover and it was new in there as well. We even could see plain marks on the top of the block between the head. No doubt about it, this is a new motor.

Sweet.

Joe

Thanks Joe!


I finished the other seat today. And we are still working on the mechanical work. Hopefully by the end of the weekend it should be back on the road.

Old nasty seat.


All better.


These will look sharp in the car.

Nice work so far, can't wait to see more! Save the red inserts from the old seat backs (the bottoms look too trashed). Finding a new engine must be a great feeling! Looks like it needs a new coat of paint, are you going with stock black or redoing the Pontiac engine blue it looks like they attempted before?

Thank you! And yes I did save the red Indy upper sections. I have one mint Indy panel and one with some light wear.

And the motor is black again. It also back together and running. We did the motor mounts today, and have been working to un-jury rig everything the previous owner did.

We changed out the front shocks today. Little by little its coming back to life.

Looks like a new accumulator in the lower left? Redoing the AC? R-134A conversion?

Good eye! Yep that will be happening today or tomorrow.

I hope you got some parts from that indy that is in rocklin pnp!

There is an Indy out there???

If you struggle to find an Indy specific part contact Jeremy at The Fiero Factory. He has five or so Indys there in various states.

yup!

Sorry I haven't updated this thread in awhile. I still have been very busy with the Indy. The paint and body are now done, and we will be starting on the final assembly soon. Also all the mechanical work is competed, so the car runs and drives like new, we even rebuild the AC system so now it has ice cold AC.

Here are the photos.

Great work on your Indy, it looks really neat, I can't wait to see it completed

I was just wondering about this car, good to see more progress!

quote Originally posted by FieroMontreal: Great work on your Indy, it looks really neat, I can't wait to see it completed

Thank you!! I have all the parts ready to go back on. I should be bringing the car home tomorrow to begin the final work. Currently the wheels are at a tire shop getting 4 brand new BFG Radial T/A's installed, white letters out of course. Also I got the red pin stripe for the wheels as well. Wait until you see all the little details this car is going to get. I am excited to get it finished.

For those of you that are following along here is today's update.

I got the Indy bug. I cant keep my eyes off this car. I just think its so beautiful. Indys were IMO the best looking stock notchbacks.

But you need to red stripe your wheels. http://www.beugler.com/how2.html

I got it painted at a Maaco that my friend owns. They do really nice work.

As for the stripes you are correct. I did buy them from fierosails, I just didn't get a chance to put them on yesterday. I wanted to clean the wheel lip up really good first.

So the old valve cover was bent so I got another one. I cleaned and repainted it. These photos suck because they are camera phone photos, but in real life everything looks much better. I will be applying the indy decals to this cover (or painting them on).



Also the carpet was in sad shape so I replaced it. I was happy to find a perfect floor board under the carpet.



After I installed the carpet I had my detail shop at work detail the whole car. Its looks amazing, just like a brand new Indy. Once again the photos suck.





Lots of little details left, when this is done its going to be amazing.
