I picked up an 88GT from the Las Vegas Fiero Club a few years ago. I figured that I would start a resto thread since I am going to paint it. Here goes.






This how it looks right now.


I have done a lot of work to it since I got.

Here's some work I've done in the last couple years.

I did a new head liner but still need the visors done. I don't think I got the headliner dark enough?




I found this, medium beechwood, got some on the way.


I put in a CD player and reglued the rubber edges of the upholstery.

The engine was built by Rich at the LV Fiero club.
It's bored .030 over and stroked with a Chevy S10 crank shaft. So it's a 3.1L and it is noticeable.
I have a 4T60 to put in it eventually.


I also have some 1.6 rockers to put in it from a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am.

Watching....btw you did a good job on that headliner.

Thanks guys. I have to redo it though, I just noticed TFS has new visors and they do say all 87s and 88s were either dark grey or dark saddle for the headliners. I'll have to get some visors too I guess.

Also here's my thread from when I restored the fuel tank.

I have a new fuel sending unit to be installed still. I've been amassing parts.

I've been slowly buying paint I need. This stuff ain't cheap!
This is the white primer.


This is the Solar Gold base coat.

If you want to see expensive, try buying that in our Crapifornia "VOC compliant" formula. That's why I try the best I can to buy HOK from a private vendor out of state.

I haven't done much with this car except drive it in the summertime. I think im ready to start restoring it though, the paint is rough and the sunroof leaks. But there's absolutely no rust on it and the R12 freon will freeze you out.
