I like it... but I'm not a big fan of having the belts/pulleys in the passenger compartment with me guess you could weld in a box around them though...

i just get disgusted when I see guys who wanna put a TON of money and effort into building a kitcar, then start with an 84 or 85 ...... Makes me wanna kick the guy that built my kitcar on an 85 instead of a low mileage 87 or 88 and then I ended up needing to do EVERYTHING over (using 87 parts whereveer possible) .....

low mileage 87-88? why would you do a thing like that? let them use up the common 84's we have a hard enough time finding low milege cars as is. and you saying they should use up our late model cars so they can build posers of a completly different car.
and the only thing left orginal is the freaking steering collum. why would mileage matter?
NO. lets try to preserve our less common fieros. not turn what is getting harder to find everyday into something imposible to find.

Of course what I really hate is when people completely bastardize the whole body, removing everything "Fiero", and still have the nerve to sell it as a "Fiero". When is a Fiero no longer a Fiero? When you remove all the VINs? Honestly, I think a Fiero's not a Fiero anymore when you ruin the body. That "car" is just an overglorified dune buggy...

Id cut it out bigger in the firewall. Build a metal bolt on box around it. THink how easy waterpump and front engine work would be. Ive often wondered why Pontiac didnt make a removable panel behind the seats to service the engine from.

Other than some technical issues, I like it. It certainly still looks like a Fiero. Slap a modified wide body on it and you're good to go. Unless custom wide body Fieros aren't Fieros anymore, either. But I don't see anyone complaining to Madcurl, Orville, or Bubajoexxx. Hmmm? To each his own, I guess.

I wondered the same thing when we had to drop the cradle in my first Fiero to get a rusted plug out.
