Hey everyone hows it goin? I just bought my 85 fiero gt notchback it needs some body work but i think its a great start to be awesome. I allready bought a parts car to fix the body damage and the headlight motors.i love the way it looks and drives. I plan on doing alot to it. Anyway I found PFF while searching the internet I read a few threads and got hooked im amazed on how big the community is here so i thought why not make it 1 person bigger? ha. well i just thought id say hi and share my car with ya
Thanks for sharing pics, that makes threads 10 times as exciting. Oh, and that hole in the bodywork, looks like a great place to put a side scoop! Anyway, welcome to the forum!

Thanks!!, yea thats the plan i would like to get one but considering im only 17 and working through college lol. I pan on trying to make one out of fiberglass myself , Alot cheaper then buying one.
Same here man, so much that I want to do to mine: lower it, a GT nose, center console subwoofer, short-throw shifter, new steering wheel, plus a new paint job... But my parents say college comes first... So I guess I'll just keep it running for now, and drop the big bucks on it later.

yup thats how it goes but im pretty sure i can afford to spend a little now and a lot later ha. i have sooo many things i want to do to it lol
lol Thanks guys, yea i love my notchy lol.I do have one question though. are the 85 gt s hard to get or what because i see a bunch of people with the 86 87 and 88s but only a handful that have an 85 and most have the SE not the GT. also whats the difference between the SE and the GT ? Thanks alot guys

85 GT's are the 1st year for the Gt and the only year for the GT notchback the SE's from 86 and 87 are basicley the same thing as the 85 GT but badged diffrentley. The 85 SE V6's were the only V6 bumper pad style from the factory. The 86-88 GT's were fastbacks linke in my sig below (i swear my life by them) other than the fastbackl and a few interior perks theres not much of a diffrence in them. Id say the 85 Gt's were uncommen because of the fast they were the only non fastback GT ever to hit the market. but there not say INDY rare. I like notch backs to. My 1st fiero was an 86 notchback SE V6 but i turned it into a fastback. ------------------

the body panels as you can see, also the headlight motors untill i can find a way to either make or buy flush mount ones because i dont really like the popups i may go low pro pop ups though. and then the seats which im sure will fit also, hopefull the hood and front bumper because both have some small cracks in them and i want it to be perfect lol

What year SE parts car did you buy. Just because the car is an SE doesn't necessarily mean it will have the aero body. 85-86 SEs could be bumperpad or aero body styles. Let me know if it does not have the panels you need, and I can hook you up with one cheap.

That will all fit. You would have a problem with the headlight motors if the parts car was an 87 as the put the gen 2 style headlights in them but your fine with an 86. If you go flushmounts id sugest Kris munsons kit. Heres the set I have on my car. There $300 per kit without hid's $400 with HID's They require no modifacation to put in and you only have to tap one wire into your fan switch relay wire to make them work correctley. Icv had them for 2 years and dispite the fact i got pulled over for them last night (he just wanted to see the car) I absoluteley love them.
Heres my car with them on it below Again there made by Kris Munson Jimmy S with fiero fibreglass has the info on getting a hold of him i beleave

yea any nice car with the "sporty" look cops love to stop lol.
its a 4 cylinder not a 6, does that make a difference?
It might. Some 86 4 cylinders came with the aero package some dident. Its uncommen to find one. Does it have the same front bumper that you have on your 85?

A 4 cylinder will most likely not have the aero package to it. Your upper clip will be the same, but your lower quarter will not have the mounting holes for the aero moulding.

Can you give us the VIN so we can decode it for you. A GT (if i heard you right, this is an '85 you are speaking of) is the 2.8L V6, the SE is the 2.5L 4cyl.
Also, that way we can make sure it gets registered in the VIN database (if you want of course)
BTW, WELCOME!!!!!

im not sure on the front bumper i saw it from afar when i bought my fiero it was sitting with no front tires but i noticed the body peices i needed on the drivers side where the same as mine and the guy i bought it from said everything i needed would match, not that i dont believe him but you cant really trust everyone when they want money lol.

If your replacing the clip than yes there all the same. if its a bumper pad than your lower 1/4 pannels and rockers will be diffrent if it has the aero package than they will be the same.

ok ill have to be sure to look and make sure, if its different im probably gonna go ahead and buy it though anyway because if not parts then i have another awesome fiero! but i may sell it depending if it has a title or not. the 4 cylinder in it runs but really rough and it has some axle issues is what the guy told me about the parts car.

having a 4 cylinder fiero is never a bad thing. im to used to the V6 for me to get a 4 cylinder but i wouldent kick it out of my driveway if i had one.
Pontiackid86- yea but i may sale it any way so i can fix up my GT im only paying 150 it has to be worth more then that to someone that needs it or wants to restore it, id love to have another but i really dont have the room to store it and defenetly dont need 2 projects at once lol.

True. Id say if it has a title get it fixed and sell it. It will be worth a whole lot more running and driving than it will be not running. People tend to think less of a fiero when its sitting. beleave me i know i have 3 of my own.
