Okie dokie. Difficult to see in the pictures, but we got the headlights working from toggle switches. One for the parking lights, one for lights on and doors up, and one for doors down. Now there's just the high beam/low beam to figure out.


I know, looks worse than the Ferrario wiring wise. But it's not bad. The toggle switches are all plugged in by connectors. So once the panel is made for the console, the switches can be mounted and the wiring can be purdied up a little more. The goal for today was just to figure out how to get the lights to work at all. Mission accomplished. Everything works and only a few small fires. lol

quote Originally posted by War Hammer: So here begins the story of my '88 Fiero, War Hammer. I purchased the car from Josh "Pacethis" and picked it up on February 2nd, 2008. As many of you know I bought the car on eBay for $6000.00. It is an '88 with an ACE 3800sc Series 1 conversion, Konis, 18x7.5 rims, 5spd, fastback conversion, and most importantly, a C5 dash conversion. It makes a good starting point for what I have planned - BIG brakes (13" or bigger Corvette, Viper, Porsche or 350z), 3800sc Series 2 conversion, G6 6spd conversion, Archie's widebody kit, rollcage, and finish the interior. Now this is the plan for '08. The trick is I need to come in around $6k for all of this (that is the budget the wife set) and be done in time for the Hilton Head Island track days and concours. By the way, this will be a street, road course, autocross car. For '09 I want to chop the top, vinyl wrap (I like to change things up to often to paint), and install a killer sound system. I will need a lot of help from you all for parts sources, diagrams, etc during this build so any is appreciated. I have limited knowledge when it comes to mechanical things but can follow directions well. The Motor The Body and Wheels The Interior Does anybody make a 13" or 14" brake kit that doesn't ue the '88 calipers? Who makes the best rolcages for Fieros? (yes I know it wilhave to be recut after the chop later). Does Purle Reign have a pricelist? Thank you in advance for any help and positive comments and suggestions on thi project.

I want that dash!

If you ever have a questions about the sincerity of the circle of Fiero owners on this site, take a look at:

Pretty impressive.....

Sorry it hs been so long. I'm stilldealing with my wife's estate. I'm dating again (things have change from the last time when I was 19 -17 years ago). Anyway, War Hammer is on the road! The dash is still apart and my tail lights are amber instead of red, but I can dive it as long as the cop don't look too close. THANKS WHADEDUCK!!!!! I'll fill you in as progress ensues.
