WOW, I'm new to fiero but have always longed for one and to have a beautiful rebody kit and you have done an awesome job with your car. You mentioned early on when you were producing your nose about hmmmm maybe selling some?? Have you thought any more about that or did I skip over it in anticipation of seeing more pics of the car....Great work

I finally got a chance to read this thread from start to finish.
Good job.
I truly respect the time/creativity/Effort involved in everything you did to your car.

Thank you..I am not sure yet about producing the nose, it needs to be molded from the car because a lot of changes were made during buildup, also it would require enough serious interest to justify putting extra work and money in a good product...right now I want to finish other stuff first.

I might as well do some updates now....it got hit at the driverside 3 weeks after painting, heres what happened. I found out later the frame had a dent, already knew the scoop was cracked everywhere.



almost redone

Got the side repainted 2 weeks ago. 10 minutes after I left the painter I went for gas. Some old guy got in reverse and.... kept....backing up! You must be f****** kidding me! so he hit my frontbumper but it went slow and I didnt found damage.....must be a spell! better news next post

after christmas I wanted to do some easily rewarding job to keep me a little busy but not frozen in the garage...this scrapped aluminium profile is a nice mold for a basic shape of a CF doorsill. First mod of 2006


I pulled the first piece in 2005-12-31 and the second in 2006-01-01

I mirrored the weaving on the other piece for a balanced look (details...details..lol) Once the first piece is trimmed its easier to cut the second. I want to put some graphics there because the body is completely shaved from emblems and logo's and this is a nice way to show or hide them. I ditched all my fancy logo designs and may just go with a nice font. I think I will have to take an eps file to a shop that can cut the letters from vinyl.

after that it will need a clearcoat to bring up the shine!

Man you are having a run of rotten luck!!! Maybe you should hire a couple of guys to drive around in front of and in back of you to warn everyone that your car is close.

Hi Roderick,
Happy new year... even with the damaged car.

I saw the pics and that gave me a sad feeling.

I read that you refurbished your steering rack a few times so my question is can you give me some advice (or help) for mine?
I also still have to make an appointment with you to see the car.. Maybe it's a good idea to wait till it's painted again.
I will be back in Holland the first weekend of feb.

grtz Albert

Are you willing to tell what brand of resin you used? I tried my hand at covering a couple pieces with CF and it came out looking yellowed and horrible from the resin and my lack of experience.

Albert: hi! Send me an email when your back and having time... I think you ment steering 'column' ? Of course I want to help to rebuild it, you might need to borrow the right steeringwheel puller though. I made one from scratch but its different because my steeringwheel is different. btw the fiero is already back on the road

Custom88: did you use the resin with the pink hardener? That turns a bit yellow when cured. I use resin from a local brand fiberglass supplier and MEK (methyl ethyl ketone ) hardener. The resin is blueish but turns colorless when cured. I first lay the CF in place and then the mixed resin over it and work it to the sides..these are some nice tools to get all the airbubbles out:
