Nice car. Do you do things with the Lansing club? If you haven't sold it by May bring it to the Gilmore Farms-Museum for the dust off. There will be some Fieros there.
Thanks gentlemen, alot of love (and even more time and money) has gone into her.
I haven't done anything really with the club, it's spent most of its time locked away, I have it too nice to enjoy myself, too afraid something could happen to her.
What's the deal with the welded on box along the cradle? It almost looks like an 84-87 cradle has been modified to accept the 88 suspension pieces. It also looks like the parking brake cable is being routed to the rear (84-87 style) vs. within the front crossmember (88 Style). I would like to know more details of these things.
The cradle is one of the trophy peices of the car.
It is the 88 cradle (at least a bit of it), it just been mostly fabed up using tubular square stock. This car originally was getting a v8 swap. We had both a 383 sbc and a fresh 4.8 lsx engine that we had grand visions of plopping one of the two in there. The cradle had couple spots right around the mounts for the trailing arms that had rust issues & rather than patch it up we built the nastiest cradle ever put under a Fiero.
I don't want anyone being put-off by the fabrication. The cradle isn't butchered together. My family owns a body shop my dad has been in the business for 35+ years. We have a Genesis Laser Measuring System and dimensionally the ass end of the car is dead on to the millimeter plus the cradle looks nice too, extreamly professional.
We eventually went with a tricked up 3.4 (which is still a riot) instead of the V8 but in the future whether its the new owner OR (if people keep jacking me around on it)...Me, the car is a perfect canidate for something a little bigger back there and it has one heck of a place to sit.
As for the emergency brake, the pic is a little deceptive. It does still run up in the front cross member it just is comes down under the cradle on the driver side of the car rather than going thru the side. A little fabricating was done there too but with all brand new cables, springs, everything the E-brake engages and disengages flawlessly.
Not on hand, I had the girl who took my pictures take a couple shots of the bottom, one on each side just to show the suspension and that it is as clean underneath as up top. I have a picture just like the one you are looking at of the passenger side, that is it right now.
Now if you were an interested buyer, id crawl under there and try and get a few more but then again id tell you to come look at the car in person and you can stick your mellon under there and oogle at it until your hearts content.
Just like the ad says, like the pictures come see the car. I'm 150% confident in it, they don't come nicer than this one.
Front facsia molding has been reworked into the narrow splitter below the inlet for air to the radiator. Always hated how the wrap around molding made the car look like it has an over bite. The car is lowered in the front so it doesn't look like the nose is is up in the air without it either.
The trim has ask been been sanded out, primed, painted and cleared black. The surround is the Fiero store over lay.
