Here are some pictures of an 84 Sport Coupe model I built. The pictures were taken at our model club meeting yesterday. Every meeting we bring in a model based on a certain theme. This month's theme was 3 wheels, so I brought in an 84 Fiero with an example of the 3 wheels that were available on the car in 84: The steel wheels, the turbo finned rims, and the high tech rims. Why a Sport Coupe? I didn't have any SE decals for the sail panels

There are three things you can count on at every GLSM meeting. 1 We will start late. 2 Albert will bring an Israeli jet and 3.
Bob will bring in a FIERO! This is the 1984 Sports Coupe Factory replica Bob made from an MPC kit. Nice job Bob.

I bought the kit online a couple years ago for $22, but the guy hasn't had any more Fiero models. It's the original 1983 MPC kit, 0883, seen at the bottom here:

http://www.fieros.de/en/articles/fierokits.html

It took about 3-4 weeks to build. I added side windows and made the windshield out of overhead transparency. The windshield in the kit was dark tinted, and half melted!

I'll fix the trunk carpet Anything else wrong I missed?

Impressive work.

There are strange chrome links in the rear suspension? And the holes in the Tech wheels are normally painted dark grey, though I can't tell on yours if that is the case.

Wow, excellent job on that model! I should send you my unbuild ones to do.

In the last 2 pics, are you doing a clutch job, or a motor swap?

Those "chrome link things" I'm not sure exactly what they are So since it's easier to paint them than it is to leave them chrome, I left them chrome until I figured out what color to paint them.

I made the engine so it and the cradle just drop out, so you can "Drop the cradle," but I need some little jack stands to support the car Actually the club theme for next month is Corvettes, so I'm thinking about bringing the same model back in with a Corvette LS1
