Well got home from work today and couldn't resist pulling it out of the garage!
This is the first time I drove it since page 59 of the build thread.
Believe me I didn't know at the time it would be one month shy of two years since I drove it again.
I carefully backed it into the driveway and snapped a few cell phone pics in the daylight.











Best feeling was taking it for a spin around the block with proud neighbour onlookers who know how hard I've been working on it show their approval.
Lots of tweaking still to do but it started, the clutch and transaxle worked well and it even stopped
Comments and questions welcome as always.
Cheers, Fiero2m8

How about a quick video so we can see it move and hear it roar!

I've got one word for you buddy! Sexy!

All that hard work has paid off! You'll have to drop by sometime when you're in the area.

I hear you there... my Blue SBC fiero became engineless in Dec 2009 and I am hoping to have it running again before the 2 year mark.

Congrats on completing the restoration/upgrades and putting the finishing touches on an absolutely epic Fiero.

Thanks Guys, it means a lot coming from Fiero enthusiasts.
Patrick I will be in Vancouver Oct 25-27th for work but they won't pay me mileage to drive...
Yes a video is in order, will try a short one myself this week and can probably get an assistant to record a better one on the weekend.
I pulled her back in the garage and my guess on the rear ride height appears very good now that the springs have settled.


The front ride height needs to be lowered but I am loving the turning radius and steering/ride of the 88 front suspension.
It easy to recommend this swap once it's done
Planning to finalize door panels, install side mirrors and sunroof next.
