I get nagged every day about when my cars going to get done.... ( It takes up the whole garage ) Its been about a year now. Just like RRunner said your going to plan to do one thing but you end up spending 50-100% more money then you thought. I mean I probablly could have been done if it werent for buying.... the built trans, everything getting ported, the cam, intercooler....... nitros. I guess I just got carried away. Go big or go home!

every time I see a muscle car or honda ricer or basically anything I would have "played" with in my 3.8 fiero It makes me Wish i had one to work on... :*( just go to a car show or drive to the races on a friday night then I'm sure you'll be working on it saturday!!

Well from seeing what others have done. I am painting mine this weekend so in your face flanders i hope this inspires you all to hurry it along.

Mines my daily driver for about 7 months of the year. The way I look at it, I don't get my projects done over the winter I don't have a car.

I will buy stuff to finish it but just dont have the drive to want to finish it. Im at the point where i need to clean the garage and pull my old engine. I dont have a car at the moment and miss my fiero but with no one to help me pull the engine its kinda rough. I just lost my drive to finish it.

Seriously, you have to find a "Fiero'" on the forum whose Fiero is similar (to yours) and whose owner is motivated. Another thing I've found that is helpful is to have more than one Fiero, especially one that is running thus when your running low on "motivation" you can hop in the Fiero. After a few miles--you'll get back into the spirit.

That's pretty much what I'm doing. I'll be getting a parts car in the next month or so, to use for mocking up the LS4 on the cradle, so I don't have to drop and cut the one in my car, and see if it fits, drop it, and keep doing stuff like that over and over again. I can always hop in the GT, go for a drive, and have the desire for the throttle to give a little more than she does with the 2.8. Same with the interior. I won't have to leave my car sitting with the dash and door panels and seats out of it, while I work on the new dash design and everything. Being able to go for a drive is always a big motivator, because you can feel everything you're wanting to change, and why you want to change it.

This.
And I think it's just fun working on your car. You just have to limit it to a certain amount everyday. If you work on it all day, everyday, it's a lot easier to get burnt out. I just can't wait to see it lookin' sexy, to able to drive it around, and show it off!

are you done yet?

I am having a real hard time also. I use to work on my cars to get things off my mind. But ,She is not on my mind anymore.
So, I guess I need to find something else to drive me crazy enough to work on my Fiero.

I did do something yesterday.I made a engine mount
