I pulled the driver's side fender well last night and things are looking pretty good. A little bit of surface rust I need to address, but nothing major. Hoping for a similar situation on the passenger side so I can put my mind at ease!

Yeah, that's not so bad. Good luck with the rest!
That's a nice looking car!

Yeah, that side looks okay... but you're not out the woods quite yet!  One side can be good while the other side is toast.

Happy to report it's a similar situation on the passenger side. Even the battery tray looks good! Sway bar links are another story

Excellent!

Wow, you're lucky! My Formula's battery tray was so rotted by a previous owner's boiling-over battery that I just bit the bullet and mounted the battery in the front.

Heh heh... yeah, those are looking rather grim!

Thanks, and yes - I'm finding that rear brake calipers for an '88 are pretty much impossible to find. Previous owner put front calipers on the rear, so I don't even have rebuildable cores. I won't pass safety inspection here in NY without an e-brake.

Best bet I'v seen would be a part and pull, and or get one of the caliper rebuild kits from the fiero-store. The rebuild might be complicated, but the part and pull could result in a better situation.
