Sadly, as I am living in a Condo, and have no access to a garage, tools or excess money to do this job. So, I have chosen I will sell it for half what I paid, anyone in the Toronto area or Ontario is welcome to contact me. I have a family to support as well. As mentioned here, one only needs to find a good cradle or frame and do that work and you have a great, safe, 1 of 2000 Indy Fieros.

It needs much more than just a cradle. I would be shocked, absolutely shocked, if you could get anywhere near $2000 for that car. Realistically, I think you'd be looking at closer to $200 or thereabouts.
Indy fans would be interested in good body panels and interior parts. They are kind of rare you know....
We have no idea of the condition of the actual "rare" Indy parts. And in regards to the body panels in particular, what makes them any different than body panels off of any other "aero" style Fiero?
Hey, I feel for the OP. It's a real shame (maybe even a crime) that someone would take advantage of him like this.
I glanced through this thread, so forgive me if it has been said . . . what about the OP doing a part out? Between the Indy panels (which may or may not be rare), the wheels, interior, and the other parts that aren't badly rusted, I bet he could get closer to $2000 than $200.

There's a big difference in value of most any old car between selling it whole and parting it out. A lot more labor intensive as well. But as stated in the thread, the OP lives in a condo. Parting it out won't be happening.

The OP mentioned a recent paint job. Are the graphics correct? I dunno.
Was this car parked on the Niagara Parkway just a few km's from the falls, up the hill passed the rainbow bridge?
I've seen this car before, It's been for sale for at least 2 years. The decals on the side were wrong, the color was wrong and they were asking a lot of money for a car that didn't look right. I believe it did have the correct interior. I've never seen it move, I bought my 87 just around the corner from there and it had also been sitting for quite some time but I got her back on the road.
That's a lot of rust. I don't think it's a good financial decision to fix it. Could do a chassis swap but it's a lot of work.
Good luck!

The far western provinces have no rust cause they use little or no salt. East of Manitoba it is a good 3 months of road salt, some places 5 months worth. I was lucky with my car originally from BC. But 2 years of winter driving in Ontario by the previous owner was enough to make me break out the welder and fix a few spots on the passenger side. If the OP has the time, he should go get that frame from Fierobear. If he has a decent paint job on the body he has now, here in Ontario that would easily cost 4000.00 or more.
