I guess I forgot to give an update on the air ducting too... I managed to get it out. For some strange and stupid reason, it was easier to remove with the blower and AC removed then it was as a full unit... but whatever, its gone now for awhile... lol

Making some considerable progress on the disassembly stage. Just finished up stripping everything in front of the forward firewall and will have the update video posted tomorrow!

Bit of an update...
Managed to remove the Roof panel off first try without breaking any part of it... Only had to sacrifice one of my hammers in the process... XD
Also got the Fastback panel off as well.

Not to worry, I haven't given up or abandoned her just yet... XD
Just havent been working on her as often with how hot its been getting lately so mostly just putsing on the easy stuff until it starts to cool off.
Just about everything from the engine bay is out except for the shifter and accelerator cables and E-brake lines...
Started on the Doors a few days ago but just taking my time with everything.

It is not a Ford to the extent of your proposed Fiero/Ford project, but a Ford part has been used on selected Fiero vehicles since 1987. All of the Meras use a Ford Escort station wagon backup light. The lens actually has Fordembossed on it. I could give you the part number but this is just a funny/strange take on the existing Ford/Fiero relationship.

You certainly have my interest and curiosity... Im not sure if I will go that route though as Im trying to basically do a modernization build, but Im not against inspiration and ideas!

Not to worry, I havent abandoned this project... Just trying to avoid Hell's Oven until it started to cool down some.
The past few mornings I've been out tinkering on things and puttsing on others. Managed to get the driver side window out.
Had to take it slowly with a Dremel cause GM in their infinite wisdom thought it was a great idea use stupid rivets for everything in the damn door... ugh... Not looking forward to the passenger side. lol...
All things considered though it went pretty smoothly and now that thats out of the way, I can work on the rest of the stuff in the door...

Its official now!
We are 2/3rds complete on the teardown!
Aside from the suspension and steering, I have everything removed from the front and rear of the chassis... All thats left now is just the crap in the cab and doors left to remove...
The end of the Stripping is in sight, and still 5 months ahead of schedule!

Weeeeee! Fuel tanks out and drained the 3'ish gallons still on board, after we ghetto’ed the pump to work on an Airsoft LiPo...
Its still in great shape internally so if theres anyone out there is in need of one hit me up, I plan to get a custom aluminum tank to ease the difficulties of the engine swap Im doing...
