My son really wanted a Fiero when he was in high school so I helped him purchase this car in 2007. Not a good college car so it became my car. I had dreams to put another engine in it but at this point I have so many projects and activities that I will never get around to such a mod.

10 years ago I was rear ended. The trunk was crushed in. Insurance totaled it but I bought it back and had it repaired. The body shop found no frame damage. I found a complete trunk unit. My body shop cut off the crushed trunk and welded on the undamaged trunk. It looked to me that they did a very good job. They found very little rust, except around the battery. That was fixed. Since so much of the body would need to be repainted I had the shop repaint the whole car. Corvette yellow.

The interior is a bit rough. The driver's seat has a bunch of tears in the fabric. The head liner fabric was coming loose so I took it down to recover it. But never got around to doing that.

In anticipation of this being a long term project I collected a number of spare parts when they became available. These are listed below.
