Ok, on to more questions: The honeycomb I picked up is in good condition but on the outer “wings” there are two tears. This plastic is soft and flexible. My idea is to fill the squares completely (that have the tear) with expanding Gorilla Glue. Ever have to repair the honeycomb? How did you do it?
2nd question: It was a real PITA to remove the honeycomb from the 87 coupe in the yard. The plastic push pin fasteners are way deep into the squares! But, I found a way to get them out. 😀 Anyways, I have to do this a 2nd time when I remove the honeycomb from my 85 GT. There has to be an easier way to get it off. What is the secret? Kit

Hey Kits- I have some Tap Plastic X-30 expanding foam- which is basically a foamy version of Gorilla glue.........you mix it up and pour it in and it will expand AND glue it all together.

As i recall removing the steel bumper and pushing the center of the pin out from the back is the easiest way to remove those clips

Ya, I was tempted to take that beam off but since this particular Fiero spent a lot of time in Half Moon Bay, the bolts that hold that beam on had quite a bit of rust and I thought I would have had to muscle it off. (HMB is on the coast)
Hmmm, I’m wondering if I could use that expanding foam in a can stuff (that they use to fill cracks) that they sell at Home Depot? Kit
