Pretty nice work. Looks like an excellent job that will look oem and not a cobbled together hack job.

Its back together again and it runs. That was a minor setback, but now I can start going forward. I welded up the axles and the next thing is to get the rear brakes fixed up. Here is pic of the axles, 1/2 Audi and 1/2 Fiero.

Would there be an imbalance without having the shafts balanced by a driveline service?

Depends how they were "jigged" for the welding. They don't need to be weight balanced, just alignment balanced (i.e. gotta be straight)

FYI, the Fiero axle was machined down slightly to fit inside the Audi axle. I had to tap them together with a hammer, then welded. I'm pretty sure they are straight, so there should not be any imbalance unless I get it up to 500 mph.

Those Audi pods are stupidly strong too. I had a modified A4 a few years ago, and on a launch I sheered the bolts that hold the axle to the transmission. The car wouldn't send any power to the wheels in any gear, so I was worried it was the transmission. Towed it home, jacked it up, easy outed the bolts, off to the dealer for new ones, installed and took it for a drive. The trans is notorious for leaking, but strong as an ox. ------------------

The time has come to let this Fiero go to someone else that has the time to finish it. I have many of other Fiero parts that will go with it. I was thinking about $3000 for everything, I will post all the details in the mall. This has been a great project and would really like to see it completed.
