The front fender will be widened in the front as well, this is just to give me an idea of my cuts for the mid section. So don't worry about that. Perhaps my guesses on how wide the front was going to be was a little wrong... hehehe, By the looks of the tape shown above, its a 4" widebody all the way around the car! I kind of wanted to make it look a little squarish still. Don't worry I can still fit massive tires on the rear, now I can just run massive tires on the front!

Cont... Your refresh button is your friend... about 10 more pictures to come....

Well the one thing I realllllly wanted to change when I did this rear end was the quarter panels, the rear end and well... The trunk. Fiero trunks are well, fiero trunks.. I wanted something a little different.





Before you start getting mad at me for destroying a decent decklid... It had survived a fiero fire! the passenger corner was roasted, making it a good experimental decklid. Poor fiero.

Ohhhhhhhh....

This should give you a good idea of how I am doing the rear bumper.. I have another panel that I didn't show you in this picture. It will come sooner or later ... muahhahahahaha.

Does it still look like a fiero? If it does, my mission isn't finished yet... After all this body work is done, She'll need a good choptop, targa top, and lambo doors. Curly watch out I'ma comin buddie!

I don't know how many of my neighbors actually walked by my house just to look at my car in the last week or so... Maybe they are curious as to why my fiero is pink? , this color is starting to grow on me!

Thats it for now! Thanks guys! Lets hear what you think, and not about me liking pink!

Interesting window you have taped in...What is the donor? Also, how will you match one side to the other?

Matching sides isn't hard, before I start sanding / and fiberglassing these panels they will come off, and get the measurements transfered unto the extra foam. Then comes the preparation and sanding, and then the fiberglass.

As for the window its not so much a donor window as a new GT window that will get cut to shape. I like the notchbacks, and I like the shape of the GT windows but they are far too large for me. With a replacement sail for the GT I can cut it to this shape without it snapping and it will already have the contour of the window that is needed. Theres no point in 'inventing the wheel' and having one custom made when there is already one out there for a couple hundred dollars.

The quarter panels will also get extended, I don't plan on having two parts of the decklid open, the other portion was thrown out. The engine compartment will open like a hatchback.

Some people that have seen this thread think I am out of my mind, and even some comments have been said about how I am using caravan parts. I don't mind using parts from civics if it turns out alright. Even fie ro's car used a civic bumper to start. Some people have no faith, but this will turn out amazing if they like it or not.

I have always been tempted to just stop showing you guys what I am doing until its completed, probally because of people like that, but its still fun seeing what you guys think. Wheither or not you think I am crazy for doing what I am. Besides I think I am crazy anyways .

Custom2M4,

I WAS PLANNING THE SAME THING FOR THE DECKLID! (opening engine and trunk separate)

I first saw that idea on an MR2 and thought it would be a great thing to do to my fiero to make it different.

Are you not doing that because you want to make it hatchback? or did you run into a problem?

Its looking good so far, Keep us all posted

Its been done, I want something different. I want a hatch with a nice window, and vents. The trunk will open separately. I can't see it being a problem, you can just use another latch from another decklid, and another striker. easy enough. I hope that works out for you!

Dude, You are crazy. But aren't we all. Keep posting. I want to see how you do it because eventually I will follow in your footsteps.
The reason I asked about the glass was that it looks like the shape of the Sunfire window. You mentioned using the lights, so I thought you might be using some glass.
