Just registered after looking around a bit.. Seems like a treasure of info!
Well, I just bought a non running 86 GT for 700.00 could not pass it up... I had one when I was young and always wanted one to play with... Its VERY rough but the body is intact. As soon as I learn the forum Ill post pics.... In the meantime is there a good resource for electrical diagrams? apparently an animal (my guess rat) ate thru part of 2 harnesses as it sat for 7 years/// Also I had to cut the belt as the water pump and alt are seized for now.... It does crank though....
The popup will ask you to register but there is a "No thanks" button at the bottom. The direct download link is in the upper right corner and again, hit "no thanks" on the popup window. It is over 1,000 pages long.

Thanks in advance!
I think I saw that one for sale recently by me! Hope to see you around at the local shows!
Thanks! Mine is not that bad BUT it is bad... I knew this going in.. either way as a parts car and practice for my son it will fun to strip down and see how bad it is.... If its to far gone for repairs, ill just cut up the tub and buy a roller from the south...
Welcome! I'm living in Canton MI right now, NEVER seen a Fiero here. Definitely pull back the trunk carpet, and take off the wheel liners and check the upper rails. You can get an 86 Factory Service Manual in The Mall section here, or off eBay cheap, it has all the electrical diagrams and everything else you'd need. There's one for sale now with a $10 starting bid
Wow! thanks for the link I am sure it will save all sorts of time and pain!. haha.. I am in the middle of moving and the new garage will have a lift so I am waiting for that to strip it down and check to see if its salvageable... If not I'll pickup a roller this winter...
Welcome Michigander! Hope to see you at the car shows! I'm working on an 88 coupe with my son too(2 yr old) lol he loves sitting in the car pressing all the buttons while I tinker with it. Fun fun!
Hey, question for the experts... are the frame and cradle the same for the 86gt and the 87gt? I ask because a parts car is available and I am wondering what I can use from a 86gt to rebuild a 87gt Thanks!
Yes they are both the same, welcome to the forum. The 88 cradle is the only thing substantially different from the early cars. The 84 cradle has no provision to mount a V6 but not that much different than 85,86 and 87's.
... but perhaps have a look at this video before you get too far into your project.
