Started as a project for a chassis design class. Slowly got more and more out of hand, as do all my projects.
I finished my Trans Am, and it is stored for the winter, so now I have some time to finish the Fiero.
This will be a fully streetable setup, that will be daily driven through the winter. I will also end up building a custom gooseneck trailer to pull behind this thing, so I can use this to pick-up loads of wood for my woodstove, or whatever. (Replace my Trans Am as my work horse)
As I picked it up from darkhorizon, this one has been sitting in his backyard for 6 years collecting snakes...

I had no idea the amount of work this was going to take. I earned a ton and had a lot of fun. Aced my chassis design class. Picked up a SC3800 from the JY and got it cleaned up, all pretty. Spent a ton of time re-doing the wiring harness, relocating stuff, etc (My usual stuff for builds). In the meantime my 1000hp Trans Am I had just (almost) finished has been sitting undriven for a couple months with just a few issues to figure out. So I took a break from the Fiero and finished the Trans Am, and spent Fall driving the car having fun.

So this past week I pulled the Fiero "out of storage" and started fitting the body panels. I am so geeked with how it looks so far.

A week or so ago, I got bored and decided that I needed to turbo this thing. So all that is on the way. Kit will be non-intercooled, V-band and 304SS everwhere, just like my Trans Am. I was going to go with a Borg turbo like my T/A as well, but got an eBay GT45 for 150 shipped, so I figure ill give it a try. Decided to cut down the new intake, because I didn't like how long it was. Its over 7" shorter than before.
