Finally, (I'm on top ) a Fiero whose fenders and rocker panels can rust out like 99% of the other old cars.

I think the fiero would line up well with the cien. Maybe one of the photoshop guru's can work something up? hahah maybe a the audi r8 drivetrain? AH the possibilities would be endless with a limitless budget, oh well i'll keep dreamin.

Start with;
1. Norms flipper.
2. Mad-Arch wide body kit.
3. Nissan headlamps from one of those SUV (They're the closest I've found so far).
4. Cadillac tail lamp.
5. 350Z window.
6. Held's longitutional cradle.
7. XLR super charged N* matted w/Porsche tranny (this the best you're going to get, but the BMW I think will make people vomit).
8. A Cadillac grill (use a newer style).
9. I'd use a longer front windshield, but one that is similar to the Eclipse w/o the odd shape near the hood.
10. Lot and lots of fiberglass tweaking using a notchback's C-pillers and fastback.

The only Fiero I can think of that is 1/2 way there is Bubbajoe's X car.

I remember seeing Bubbajoe's car in the thread he had going a while back, I really wish i could have made the trip up to canada and buy it when he had it for sale.

MadCurl was it the 914 transaxle? I haven't seen anymore updates on that car, would have really liked to see the car in person but i think the new owner is in new york?

The new owner is Fiero 2M8, also in Ontario.

Oh alright i thought it was in new york, my mistake

I must have missed it back in the thread. Is this sheet metal or Aluminum construction?

if you only read the autoblog on the woodighini you may want to read the whole article on it at www.motorfoot.com it has a whole lot more info on it! I found it very informative compared to others, I think the woodighini looks prety darn good for a project that is unfinished, and to recieve that much press on an unfinished piece of metal art... looks great to me!

quote Originally posted by PaulJK:After he's done with the body work, he'll probably start doing the interior, run into wiring problems and THEN find out why the fiero he started with was worth $60. Later on, he'll likely have a car with worn out suspension, bad brakes, and probably a slew of wierd problems like phantom wipers, black death, bad bushings, bad engine, dried out connections and bad grounds, rust, dry-rotted seals, sagging door hinges, etc., etc., etc. I'll bet this car NEVER sees many miles on the road even if it gets finsihed. Anybody who starts a project with a $60 fiero is simply a fool.

Ummm, dude. Pretty much every Fiero you can find for sale is in that state. That's why we have Tech to fix it ourselves, and own an 'exotic' for less than half a regular car payment each month. It looks like he's building an all new interior anyway, obviously it's gonna need a brand new door hinge system, custom wiring, custom suspension etc. etc. He certainly wouldn't want to pay $8000 for a low-mile 88 and butcher the thing? My hat is off to this guy. That (you're right) Piece of Junk just got a new lease on life. I wonder if he lurks on the Forum for pointers and tips?

This crowd is tough. I think it looks great. I don't care what anybody thinks about that car. Look, actual vertical doors not like the bs system they have out on the market.

Well, it's not the car that I want but, I can't take anything away from the builder. It's creative thinking and dedication to the end result that I appreciate. It doesn't have to be what I want to recognize it's worth. After working on the Pantero project for what, three years now, I can fully appreciate what it takes.

wow.. i honestly cant believe there was any negativity at all on this thing

amazing craftsmanship first n foremost!

2ndly i quite love the way it looks, no paint or anything.. something "strong" looking.. like a big war ship molded into a sexy car

3rd.. um i started with a piece of crap car that costed me $0 ive probably put 3000+ into it already (altho its probably more towards 5...) and its STILL a piece of crap.. but its my piece of crap and someday it will be molded just how i want it

A lot of true car buffs will appreciate the manhours that it took to do all of that work, that they know from experience, it takes where the general public has no clue.

Agree!!!
