New Project: Indy Fiero #64 Restoration (Page 1/19)
FieroMaster88 OCT 09, 03:31 PM
I figured I should post a thread about my new project. I purchased this car from tbone42 about a month ago and had it delivered by blackrams. Both guys were great to work with!
Anyway, the car is Indy #64 and parade car #4. It has 152,000 miles on it and needs a restoration. It will be a long project but I plan to get it completed and keep the car for a weekend driver. When I got the car it was not running. I found it had no fuel pressure but I could hear the fuel pump running. I removed the fuel tank and found the rubber line between the fuel pump and sending unit cracked. I replaced the pump and hose and the car runs now. The gas is a little old but I'll get it ran through and fill the tank with some new gas. I've also replaced the alternator and belt. Hopefully this week while the weather is nice I'll get the factory seat fabric reinstalled on the seats. The driver seat had a tear in the leather so different seats were put into the car by a previous owner. The factory seat fabric came with the car. I found a second set of seats and purchased them so now I have enough parts to put 2 good seats together. I also got some nicer door panels with map pockets to put in the car. The car also has a hooker header on it and a poly bushings in the suspension.

I plan on getting the car painted completely. I've purchased a new set of decals for the car already. It needs new dew wipes, sunroof seal and a lock set. I'm planning on replacing all the brake lines with the kit from the Fiero Store because the lines on the car are quite rusty and one is leaking. Hope to get those ordered this week. There is also some rust in the trunk that needs to be fixed and a new battery tray needs to be installed. It came with a good battery tray, I just have to weld it in. I plan on replacing the rusty trunk corners and remove the rear clip to see if the frame is at all rusty. Any rust will be repaired and por15 coated. The floors and front are in good shape. The engine needs to be cleaned and repainted too. I'll also need some new tires and to repair the wheels. I plan on returning the car to 100% stock. I'll post more as I work on it. Here are some pictures I took today.

Verrrrry nice project. Oh someday I will own an Indy myself.

BTW, where is the release button on your e-brake?

Thats a good question. I've been wondering the same thing myself.

Today I fixed a leaky brake line so I can drive the car around the neighborhood. I've got to get some fresh gas in it too. Hopefully I can get a couple hours this week to work on the seats.

That would be today's project. I'll post pictures as I swap the covers over. I have a bunch of bmw's to fix first.
