I wonder if anyone has made a jig to change the bolt pattern. I'm thinking of doing this so I will be able to find some wheels I like.

Do you think a 5x4.5 would work? I have not had time to check. I would be able to run Mustang wheels and brakes. If for some reason they did not work on the car I could put them on my Danger/Ranger. Gota do something the car is on hold until I know how wide it will be.
I hope to get some Mr. Mike seats ordered in the next week or two but I have to find a TA/firebird dash to see if I go Black/Red or Grey/Red seats.
Then I will be hitting up JScott a lot on the dash and getting it in the car.

Mike;
Great build. Nice to see the Sebring screen going into a chopper as I wasn't sure it would fit very well but it looks good. The side and top gaps are known to need work so I am not surprised you had to fill in some of the a-pillars and top. Not too bad of a difference though so easily managed as you have shown.
5 x 4.5" bolt pattern will fit on a Fiero front hub as I am getting 5x4.75" done to a set for new rims for one of my projects coming up.
Keep up the good work and keep the pics coming.
Cheers
Don

There is alot of room inbetween the vanes on the backside of the fireo front hub, I would imagine after fill welding the existing lug holes you would be able to redrill them and make it work as long as the center hole of the rim will fit over the center of the fiero hub. I am trying to fit the 97 turbo jetta rims on mine, the center bore of the rim fits exactly over the fiero hub I will try and take pics in the morning my camera is dead at the moment.

I guess my next thought is would it be better to buy a new set of bearings/hubs or if the originals are good use them? I have heard the new ones are not as good as the originals in good shape. I might be lucky on a dash was looking around last night and found a guy about 20 minutes away from me selling a LS TA dash from a car he is parting. I am going tonight to check it out. He does not have door panels but the dash is good.

You are better off using the Fiero door panels and modifying them by transferring the TA door parts .if you are looking for a good fit.
