Welcome everybody to my Fiero buildup page...code named, "project SleeperGT". This is where I will post the progress of my Fiero's conversion from a stock '84 SE to a semi wild GT looking monster. Since I'm working on a limited budget this project will take quite some time from start to finish.

My plans for the car are as follows:
1. Custom side scoops (similar to those of NOS3800's which can be seen here https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/037968.html
2. American Racing Series 106 wheels mounted on 215/45/17 tires...although my wheel choices are constantly changing
3. Aero bumpers and ground effects
4. Original orange gauges converted to blue (completed)
5. Sunroof conversion using pieces from my parts car
6. Spoilerless decklid...may add mustang scoop somewhere down the road w/ vented decklid cover grills
7. 6cyl exhaust from the muffler back on my current 2.5L (no plans to swap engines until everything else is done and this one dies out)
8. Paint job similar to helmet1978's (red from mouldings down, white above mouldings)

I'll get you started with some pictures of my car stock and post progress pictures as I go along.

Thanks for looking and keep checking back as I move along towards my dream Fiero.

Black '84 SE 4 speed with blue gauge conversion and small interior mods...Stock otherwise, but not for long.

umm...I hate to tell you, but doing all that stuff takes away it's sleeper status? And is it going to be posted by the L4? If so...it's FAR from a sleeper...just my 2 cent

Check my car out at Car Domain!

yeah...I actually thought that myself after making the post. It's the name of the project I originally had in mind and it just kind of carried over as my ideas changed. Don't worry about the car name for now, it will change once I have a finished (as finished as a fiero project ever gets) product.

Welcome to Chapter one of my fiero project. Yesterday I did some more precise measuring of the panels and cross referenced those with my pvc materials. I should have a few inches to play around when it comes to fiberglassing the scoops to the body panels. I'm going to use 4inch pvc piping for the scoops themselves (2 per panel) and 90 degree pvc turn piping to achieve the round scoop backs. It may sound a little confusing now but it will all become clear as it progresses.

From the straight pvc piping I cut two sections 6 inches long and then cut each of them down the length on opposite sides to end up with four half moon shaped pieces that will make up the body of the scoops.

I then took the four pieces of pvc turn piping and cut them to make the curved back parts of the scoop and matched them up with the straight pieces to make sure they were the same width and height. The width was fine but the height didn't match up so i fine tuned the back pieces a little more until they matched up perfectly.

Sorry for the lack of progress pictures at this time. My brother stole the camera again, but I'll try to have them up tomorrow. the next step will be to remove the stock body panels from my parts car and bond the straight piping with the turn piping. I'll hopefully be able to tackle that tomorrow or Wednesday. Stay tuned for updates and pictures.
