DEFINATELY pull the rear wheels and wheel well liners off both sides and inspect the upper frame rails and cradle mounting spots before you do anything else. As stated, sometimes its better to cut your losses and find something else. Frames can be fixed or even replaced but it's not quick, easy or cheep unless your good with metal fabrication and welding.

Thanks for all the replies everyone!!! I'll try pulling those panels this weekend and taking a look. As I have dug deeper, it seems that most of the damage seems to be confined to the subframe. I'll post results after this weekends dissection and discovery!!! ------------------ **** Stupidly fearless. 1984 Fiero Sport Coupe #242064

Your new acquisition looks to be in about the same shape as RDWPLZ's Fiero, so you're looking at a similar repair job as what he did.

It is no longer a logical task, but if you love the challenge and have the time, you could save it. I am amazed by the restore that RWDPLZ did on his car, and if you can read and understand his thread and feel you want to do it....good for you. The sensible thing is to part out this car, save your money, and find something requiring less work. (it won't get any better sitting in a barn for more years.... )

I hope you come to your senses and abandon this particular project. I'm not trying to be mean, but Fieros in much better condition can be had for next to nothing.
Look on the bright side... you've got a parts car now to draw from while restoring a different Fiero.

😆😆😆 touché! Yeah, I am 99% at it being a lost cause although I am looking at frame prices at scrappers....
