I'm sorry, I do not know who produced that kit, but I do agree that it looks like pieces are missing. I might add that the lines do not match the original porsche body lines very well, of course I am assuming that kit is meant to be a carrera gt kit.

It looks like it has potential. Why is it a Carrera kit if its got a Lotus Elise nose?

If a rear section were added it would slightly resemble a Porsche GT1.

Is it too late to purchase some Fiero panels (your choice of year) and turn it back into a nice Notchie? Everybody would be more happy by taking this direction. As it sits, it reminds me of a circus clown, who puts on a tuxedo, but leaves his Ronald McDonald shoes on going to a movie.

Cordially,

As I mentioned earlier, it is a Carrera GT kit, its a $400,000 car, that has nothing to do with a 911.

Hi all

It is infact a carrera gt kitcar with some mods done to it.... The roof scoop and rad vents are from the Porsche GT1.... Be carefull and inspect this car well, as it's been for sale for ahile......

One link: http://www.markalexandermiller.com/TheCarFactory/ Link one these guys usta build the carrera gt on fieros, but switched to porsche boxters, they may be able to help you get any missing pieces....

Link 2: triangleg.net is outa service right now, but they are making this kit for the fiero...

Link 3: There maybe a third, but I am not sure right now......


edit to add pic of Porsche 911 GT1, it is infact a 911, just a steroided version...

Looks like it could be a cool kit car but the original Fiero roof line just doesnt work on it.

Mutch like my old Lambo kit, the roof was never right for me.

If there are more parts for that kit and or you can order the missing parts from who ever made that kit and you have the Talent and Time and the Extra cash then go for it.
Personaly you couldnt give it to me to haul off! I am burried in projects

No, again it is a Carrera GT with 911GT1 cues. The Carrera GT is a V10, mid engined car that shares nothing with a 911. The 911 GT1 was loosely based on the 911. They both had flat 6s, rear engine, shared headlights, taillights etc.

Notice the rear decks as well, not even close to a GT1.

A closer arguement would be to say he was going for a Gemballa Carrera GT

These are the only people that make a Carerra GT kit for a fiero that I know of. If you are looking for parts to complete it then they are probably your only option.

Good luck. I would love to see one complete. The one on their site I believe was MR2 based. They make a kit for both cars stretched and not. I know nothing of their quality or customer service.
