Just wanted to bump this thread. I still have the car. I have been driving it in the summers and really haven't wanted to paint it yet so I can drive it. The car runs great, the motor has been bored and stroked by the Las Vegas Fiero Club. The block is from a 2.8L Chevy S10. The reason for this is the crank has a longer stroke so more torque. The block was bored .030 over with a healthy cam. Any one who knows Fieros and drives it always make a comment about how it good feels to drive. There is absolutely no rust underneath and the R12 freon blows super cold. I quit driving it so much this year to preserve the car. So, therefore I am open to the direction of the future of the car. I have the HOK BrandyWine and Solar Gold for a base coat. The car is not painted yet. I also have a low mileage L67 and 4T65EHD with a 98 GTP harness and computer. Not sure what I want to do now.
------------------ Project Genisis Lo Budget 3800SC swap SOLD 12.840@104.8 MPH Intense-Racing 1.9 rockers, 3" exhaust, 3.4 pulley, ZZP tune and 18 year old tires.
I did buy an industrial walker foot sewing machine so I can do upholstery. I am also doing a 1966 AMC Rambler full restoration. So I figured I will start practicing on the Fiero. I have decided The car (Fiero) will be for sale, I have some prep things I want to do first to pretty it up. It's a rock solid car, just ugly as hell. So here is the start.
The color of the 88 Fiero headliner is supposed to be medium Beech wood I believe. they're all different so please correct me if i'm wrong. I didn't know this when I did the head liner that is why is the wrong color. The color I used was from Jo Anne fabrics and its a tan color. The old visors pretty much match the new material I mentioned a few posts back. Medium Beech wood.
