Well today I'll be taking the flywheel from my 87 to a machine shop to have the counter weight cut off and rebalanced for the 88 engine. Plus continuing with the cleaning and painting of the cradle and X-member. I'll post pix this afternoon.

Where did the sideboards come from? I like those better than the stage II scoops I have. There's nothing wrong with the stage II's. I just think that the other design will go better with my idea.

Whadeduck, they were also from Dietmar. I think he said that he still has a few left. Should I ask him?

Well now a couple of pix from the 3.1 going in to the car. The 3.1 was rebuilt by the previous owner and he did a really nice job. Crane performance everything (crank, pistons, cams, lifters, roller rockers, etc)!! So I am expecting it to run really nice!

Now a few pix from the trany out of the 87. Only has 70K on it and I'm putting a new clutch in it. I am having the 87 flywheel machined to a neutral balance and I pray it works.

Here is a pix of the 2.8 from the 87. Still runs fine and looks pretty good for 70k miles. I am planning on rebuilding it and keeping it for my next Fiero (maybe an 88 Formula).

Fiero1, Yes! Please do ask Dietmar if he has any of the side skirts left. Those side skirt look much more "355-ish". I would be most grateful.

I'll give him a call tomorrow and then let you know.

Just talked to Dietmar and he's making some right now and will have them finished by the middle of January. I sent you a PM.

Today I started the Battery relocation. I have a battery kit from Norm's.
Measured and started cutting the Spare Tire holder.

Hole cut but not yet exact. Final cutting and fitting will be done when front end is rebuilt and reinstalled to insure proper heighth.

When proper heighth is determined and cut then the battery box will be sealed with silicon and secured with screws to insure everything is water tight.
