Are the VDC kit on the car?

In the video, you talk about flipping the yokes. Why does that need to be done?
Great info here, thanks!

Lambo doors really suit the Fiero, I'd love to get a set for mine but alas, the wife would fully beat me for spending that much money

One thing I am curious about from watching the video though, would it be feasible to reuse the old hinges as mounting points (with a bit of cutting of course) since they'll already align properly with the mounting points on the Fiero and are clearly already strong enough material to suspend the door from initially? Just seems a little bit more work than is totally necessary creating a part when you've got a perfectly designed one on hand? But hey, I haven't got a kit to play with to see if my theory is accurate, and since Archie's made a swag of hinge kits now I'll trust he'll have done everything for specific reasons

Well guys, with a child at home and busy working and other things, I am offering up my set of VDI hinges for sale. I regret having to but need yo realize the likelihood of getting these installed. Purchased them @ $1365 and willing to let them go at $1000. I have them on Dayton, OH Craigslist and if no takers, will be listing on eBay in a week.

I also have a set of Miglia 1000 rims mated with Bridgestone Potenza 235/45/ZR17 tires with 90% life left on them. I am asking $650 for those as a set.

Let me know if interested in either @ brandolph1@woh.rr.com OR 937726423 six.

Thanks.

Brett

Edited for updating price: I had $1200 but total cost was $1365 - Archie can verify.
