i dunno about saxman but if i had sold you that car and you said they were one in the same i would hafta call BS....seriously that is one hell of a nice job ....wanna do mine next..lol...tim

Looks really great! That's amazing. I'm just north of you in Stafford, VA - who did you get to do the paint?

I told you that would buff right out.

wow...that came along very nicely. What kind of time frame was that done in? It seems like only a few months ago Sax was selling it.

I love the window scoops in the gloss black instead of how some would paint it the same color as the car. Your car looks awesome.

No way. I refuse to believe it.

That's impossible! You are the MAN!

OK, I'll give you the $300 back. When can I come get it?

Simply incredible. I still can't believe it.

You gonna take it to Carlisle?

Just for reference, here are more shots of the OLD car. Wow!

SIMPLY UNBELIEVABLE! So much so, I need to see VIN's!! JK, that is awesome work, and thats coming from a bodyman. Now come do mine!

Thanks for the replies.Was alot of work but I think it payed off.The paint I did myself in the garage and it took about 6 months to complete.I think just about everything was replaced. I am hoping that i can make it to carlisle this year.We'll see. I keep alot of spare parts around and decided to put 'em to use!!!

Looks real good!

Yes, it does seem only a couple months ago... I kinda remember having some interest in buying it (mostly for the Getrag trans), but the price I remember being told was much more than $300!!!

Good job on the restore, its always nice to see another Fiero be taken from the potential junkyard and put back on the road!

Have any more pics of the decklid? Looks like a sweet idea. Crazy awesome work on the car.

Wow, awesome work!

Yeah - the engine and trans stayed here. Trans is waiting for a new home. The engine is now in my Formula.

I'm still amazed by the work done on this car!

Oh wow!!! So on top of this resto. job, he had to install an engine and trans too? Now thats even more impressive!

Good job again!

its lowered too ehh? i would have gone for yellow mirrors tho, not black, but OMG it still is awesome, you got some eye to see that much potential from what it was earlier!

I love the black wing in the back. I'll have to do that with my next painted Fiero. It reminds me of the layout on my Mach 1

Now you need a black hood scoop!

WOW! Now I understand why we can't get any yellow paint in Canada anymore

Very nice work. I like the trunk cover you've done. (do you hve better pics - open/closed?)
The interior is too much to my liking, but to each his own

You should definitely bring it to Carlisle

BTW - I always debate with Fiero owners that it's better to start with a good clean car and pay the price for it (if not exaggerated)
So would you mind sharing the estimated total cost to bring it to this state?

It's 6 months of work, $300 original price and...

Here's a couple more pics. Probably have close to $3800 tied up all together. Did all the work in the garage so it saved alot of labor costs.




Yeah SAX, I was thinking of putting something on the hood,but I guess the big hole will do
Mister, I'll get ya pics tomorrow on the trunk cover

Where did you get the trunk shelf? Do you make them? how much to make me one?

Just paint the hole black and fade it as it goes back...

Too sweet!

Did you black out those taillights? And I'm also curious where you got the hood and truck scoops.


Looks damn sexy man.

You can get the scoop here...http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/dart.html
It's called 70 76 Plymouth Duster g Twin scoops bolt-on $ 149.00
The hood scoop is just a stock hood cut and glassed back in.

i did not tint the tails,but they are the ones from the fierostore.

The deck cover is just a peice of carpet and plywood. Nothing fancy. Just used cardboard to get the angles in the trunk and the transfered it to plywood.

Thanks, nice work again.

For $4100 US it would have been very hard to find anything like it (and you already have it customized to your liking)
6 months of labor is not that bad if you have a good work are, the proper tools and you're having fun in the process.

The only thing I would recommend is to get some better custom seat covers in black and yellow.

Yep, that's next the list.I'm probably have Mr. Mike make a set for it. Problem is figuring out what design to go with

I totally agree...I always wanted the mopar six pack for my decklid but now I think you just changed my mind...
incredible work,
Shawn

where did you get that shift boot? i am looking for one just like that

Wow... very nice work on that. I really want to pick up one of my own some day, and after seeing this, I can see that almost anything has hope and potential .

Once again, great job. Thanks for saving a fiero!

The shift boot is one of those Mr. gasket ones that Advance Auto sells. I modified an auto shift plate to install it. It comes with a metal mounting ring so you can put screws in it to hold it down. I just threw that away,glued it from underneath and trimmed the excess rubber so it won't hit the ash tray doors.
