Thanks dude. Hopefully I'll have the front end and interior done by the summer so I can at least take it for a spin around the block. Paint might be next year though

Here is the spec sheet on my cam. I finally found the folder that I keep all the Fiero documentation in...

It has been a while since I’ve had a chance to work on the Fiero, but today I welded in the floor pan plates.

It's been a month or so since I focused on the Fiero, but I had some time this weekend to finish off the rest of the floor pan welds.

I had to jack the Fiero up so I could get underneath to complete the extra welds needed.

Next step is to grind all the welds down, and put adhesive/sealer underneath, and then paint over everything with rocker guard.

I have sealed the welds underneath with an automotive based adhesive, and then I painted over everything with rocker guard.

For the interior welds I used “liquid-metal” and then gave it a thorough sanding to smooth everything out.

A few coats of rocker guard finished the job up nicely.

Since the floor pan restoration is complete, I have time now to focus on other installations.

Yesterday I started prepping the JimmyS scoops for installation.

Using a diamond cut-off wheel makes it VERY easy to cut - it goes through it like a warm knife through butter. So you have to be careful.

I just cut inside the lines, and then I used a metal file to smooth everything out - followed up by sand paper. I'll drill out the holes tomorrow.

Great work!

I just put my side scoops on as well. Take some more pictures when they're on the car, they really transform the look!

Thanks man. Yeah, I've got the driver's side on right now and it looks pretty hot, ...but I'm having some fitment issues with it - mainly the driver's door is rubbing against it. I'm going to play around with it and see if I can adjust the door skin slightly. My door sags a bit though, so I may need to get the RD door pin kit to straighten it out.

i'll post some pics shortly.
