Yes, the console came from Amida, as part of his 355 Interiors. It doesn't quite fit with the factory fiero dash.. Incase that was a problem.
Thanks for the kind words Carson, I'm not actually sure as to the condition of this northstar motor, so I'm going to toss it in next week and see how she goes. If you ever want to come take a look at the car in person, by all means just shoot me a PM. I haven't
seen you in about 6 years... Wayy back when everyones fiero actually ran (Exept mine.. ! haha)
The 16"s I actually did buy for the vibe.. haha I wasn't planning on running them on the fiero. Just getting a little anxious waiting for my 18"s to come in (which are taking forever!)
Well back to work for me.

I made this piece to fill the driverside fender and welded it in place (flux core / mig / no gas ... sigh)
I'm adding a piece of angle iron along the frame rail / sheet metal to give it a little bit more strength near the top, and in case I need to mount something heavy to it.
It looks pretty good for a quick job!

Drivers Side is all welded up!!!
Time to start on the Passenger Side! This is what it looked like after a little cleaning up of the rust.
I'm hoping to be done this side by tomorrow night. If things go smoothly.
I was hoping that I could drop the northstar / trans back in the car by next weekend and hook everything up. We'll see how it goes!

I'd like to see how this turns out. Are you swapping in a different dash or modifying the stock one?

Funny, my wheels stick out like that, but the difference is mine are mounted . 10x18x 275/35 . I'm doing fender flares all around.

The dash is getting swapped over to this..
I have a few plans on making it look "newage". The 18"s I'm waiting on should technically stick out past the fender lines as well by .75".

Both inner fenders are all welded up!!! Obviously I have to make them look better, but there are no more holes!
A couple random shots of the car as she sits still in slumber. Not for long!!!
I kind of just put the camera under the car and took a picture of the front suspension real quick.. haha What you're suppose to see is tubular control arms , coilovers , poly , and drop spindles. I'll have to clean that up a little bit better when I do the brakes.
Comments are very welcome!

So have you dropped the 84 you were working on and are focusing on the 87?

That looks like a Countach dash. Cool.
