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.

A thing that I'm curious about is how is the change in length of the axle taken up as it goes through its arc of travel during compression and rebound? The inner joint on the Fiero allows for this; the Audi inner joint appears fixed, as is the outer Fiero joint, what am I not seeing?
It's a bummer that you want to rid yourself of your project. I hope you reconsider. It is very instructive of your thinking and creative process. Bottom line, however, is what's best for you is the governing thing.

The inner Audi CV joint is NOT fixed and allows the axle to move in and out. I verified the axle did not bind through the full travel of the suspension without the spring.

Excellent. Thanks. Didn't know that about the Audi joint.

How much further did you get in this build? You might consider posting current pictures of everything your selling, it could push someone to pull the trigger on buying it.

You did some fantastic work on this project. You got a lot of the hard stuff out of the way...why the change in heart? Sometimes you have to put a project on the shelf for a little time to get yourself feeling fresh again. Hopefully you can get your second wind. You deserve to reap the rewards of all the effort you put into this.

Well, as I was getting the fiero ready for sale, digging it out of the garage, I got bit from the fiero bug again. I am NOT selling it now !
I will continue work on it to get it where I want it. I have a lot of ideas, brakes, wheels, body mods, and interior updates.
I did drive it a little more than my initial test drives. I know I need a little tunning. I'm trying to find a alternitive to the 7730. I noticed
there is a thread dedecated to the northatar swap, I'll be reading and posting there for ECM/PCM issues.
Here we go again !!!
