Wow! Looks like they're jacking on the coolant pipes!

Always stay away from the coolant pipes!!!!
Also, remember there is NO STRUCTURE in the last 2 feet of rocker on Fieros!!!

The guy working on my Fiero has worked on literally hundreds of Fieros in his life. So yeah, I was wondering about that jack point as well but if he jacks it like this, I know he has a very good reason for it.
Seriously, this guy would probably run circles around theogre when it comes to Fiero knowledge. I have tried to get him on the forum but he simply lost interest in Fieros some time ago. He's now restoring old (as in 60s) Firebirds.

I suspect someone else jacked up the car and made those pictures.

That's awesome that you found another Fiero mechanic in the Netherlands to work on your car. That rust is a little bit brutal, never seen those rusted before, but the rest looks pretty good... AND, it's easily accessible for them to fix. So that's good!!!

I added something to your image... to show where I believe the Fiero jack point is in this picture. There must be some "structure" at that point to support the car. When I'm removing wheels from a Fiero, I use a hydraulic floor jack where the vehicle's jack would normally go. I modified a hockey puck (Canadian, eh!) to use on the head of the floor jack to better fit and support a Fiero in that area. Would I get under a Fiero when supported in only that manner? Not a chance!

Sorry Cliff, but that picture contradicts this statement. No amount of testimonials can undo that pic

Yeah, like I said, I don't think he was the one that actually jacked up the car and took those pictures.

You call that rust?!  40 hours including welding and pulling the engine, with the list above, all sounds like maybe a couple grand, but not bad at all.

Hang your Christmas stocking out early this year, maybe the members here will want to contribute a bit towards helping you out for the repairs.
Good luck, sounds like the guy knows what's needed.[This message has been edited by CoolBlue87GT (edited 09-06-2024).]
