I'm seriously looking forward to the results... the S369-SXE is a "900hp" unit.. I assume you're aiming for the 600-700 range.

I purchased my Black 87GT around the year 2000 and immediately began driving it, showing it and making improvements. You can say that it is a "project" but its only been off the road for about 10 weeks in 20 years and that was when I did the engine swap. The body mods, upholstery and other improvements like the C4 light panel were mainly weekend projects. To get them done quickly I would prepare the parts ahead of time and just install them when they were ready. Its been a full time project but now that most of the work is done, I can now finish the 85 GT ragtop that I purchased in 1994. It has the 4.9L engine swap/auto, a complete new interior, rear Euro light panel and many common fixes (dew wipes, headlight motors etc etc) . It will be on the road this year for sure and I will post pictures.

Well, I started this one in particular in around 1998 or 1999? Actually I started on the project before that, but it switches to this actual car around then. 4.9L delrin suspension bushings. 11 1/4" brakes. and many other mod.s

I like where (I think?) you're going with this nose! It looks like you'll be getting rid of the pop up headlights? Is this an Amida piece or something you created?

I started my current Fiero project 3 years ago this spring. There's been some delays, as the guy doing all of the fabrication has other customers he's working on, and while he has a lot of garage space, a good portion of it is for storage of parts and workspace, so the winter months slows things down considerably.

He still hopes to have it on the road this year, so all of the suspension and drivetrain stuff done. I have all the interior from Amida already. Body is going to take the most time. What I want to do is waaaay outside of what I'm comfortable trying to take on. There are a lot of talented fiberglass-throwers here, plus places like Pisa, so once I'm ready to start body work, conversations will be continuing!!

Show AND Go! You can have it all, just need skills and time... or money and patience.
