Beautiful daughter! Congrats! Is this your first?
Also, the car is looking amazing! I'll have to drop by one of the CFF meetings soon to see it.

Thanks !
She and i are having a ball so far (despite a few sleepless nights).
She has even been eyeing the choptop when i take her thru the garage.
Hmmm,....looks like i may have to start planning another project for the future ??
BTW what part of orlando do you live in ?

Still trying to figure out what to do with my darned headlights.
The options upgrade to the 88 motors and get a set of the fiero1fan headlights, get a set of the new low profile headlights like on Pedro's red choptop, go with doublec's new headlight setup, or.........do something totally different like celica or NSX headlights.
Decisions, decisions ! I think it is about time to get off the pot so to speak.
Yuck gotta clean up that dirty front compartment also.

If you're basically done with the major body mods, I wouldn't be looking at anything like the Celica/NSX setups. Your chopper retains too much of the OG Fiero styling, and those would stick out like two sore thumbs, imo. I would definitely go with a slim/low-pro pop-up style.
If you want to do something different and unique, I'd look at trying to make some of the backflipping headlights like the C4 Corvette.
I'm sure you'll come up with something sweet for that ride of yours. Congrats on the little girl too! What more could you need now? (besides time?)

It looks like that front compartment is dirty for good reason. Lots of body work.
I'm over by UCF and Bithlo.

Man please. Do something about those wheels! The only group of people looking at headlights are the police and people in a funeral procession. Get some wheels and you'll have the police and everybody's mama in the funeral procession looking at you. IMHO those headlamps can wait.

No choice.
The headlamp issue must be addressed now, because my current stock motors are toast.
And the police do notice.
A fellow club member was driving his car and i was a passenger, and we got pulled over when one of his lights got stuck down, while cruising..

Dude, the fellow member is driving his car-you're not and it's only a issue if you're driving at night. Purchase a set of plain old OEM motors the Fiero Store, the rebuild kit from Rodney Dickman, or in the Mall. Heck, I bought a set from them 10,000 yrs ago for #011. I've talked about changing over to newer styles, but as I've said many of times. If the headlights don't look better than the stock one. It's better to leave as-is. The NSX are the premuim when it comes to looking better than stock, but that involves body work.
