I would love another Fiero. But it comes down to this, I just don't have the space. Sorry bud. I have too many projects going all at the same time.


Pokeyfiero just left and now I have a very nice 1988 Fiero GT, 5-Speed, with factory leather sitting in my driveway.

. Then cash it is. Just lemme know when you have time.

I can fit you in when ever you are ready. Just remember I will need the car for at least a full day.

It's painted!! Although you will all hate that I did not get photos of it painted.

But to tide you over, here are some in progress photos.

All prepped ready for primer.



In the spray booth, with the first coat of primer.




More to come in the next few days...

Is there a reason you didn't remove all the side molding? It looks like you removed some. Just curious.

Edit: I love the painted antenna I don't blame you for leaving that though... braking that stalk off sucks the big one....

The reason we left the side molding on is I didn't want to break all the 20+ year old clips. If we were changing the body color, or doing a very expensive paint job I would have removed them.

And yes the antenna stay because I have broken almost every one I have taken off.

Ah.

And I've broken an antenna too. It was very hard for me to find another base. Not fun.

It looks like you do great work! I like this thread!

Just a teaser pic....

No kidding. That was a hardcore tease. Lookin' great.

Another photo!!

I am all done working my magic, please tell me what you think of the results. I have am pretty happy with how it came out. Considering we were on a very tight budget.

I started today by picking up the seat from the upholstery shop. It looks amazing, just like its 1988 again!



Then I installed brand new quarter windows and detailed the car. All completed it looks pretty sharp!!

Holy crap, it looks brand new! I might have to make the 4000 mile trip to get my car painted

Thank you! I put a lot of work into that car, but amazingly not a lot of money.

Looks great!

Hey! Watch it punk! He is staying right here where he is needed the most.
I got projects just stacked up waiting to get out to him.

You guys all rock!! Thanks, I had a stressful day today and then I read this thread and it made me smile.

I really enjoy fixing up cars. But I am lucky to have assembled a dream team and vendors and suppliers to help me along the way.

Don't worry pokey as I said I will be here for years to come. I have been doing this for 14 years I am not about to stop now. The west coast has been good to me, so any out of towners you might just want to plan a trip out to cali for a week or so, and drop the car off and grab a rental to tour the state, then come and pick up your car and head home.

Seriously? If yes, I may take you up on that in a year or so if you would do rust work on an E-150.

Yep I am serious!

I can do anything. Just send me photos when you are ready to get it fixed.

Well, I have to get the motor running first. I've put too much money into it to just sell it, so when I get the motor running (piston failed), and after I finish my semester of school, I would love to have all the rust fixed on the thing. Heck, maybe I could trailer my Fiero down there with it and when you work on one, I could drive the other (Fiero needs a face lift ) Actually, that would make one heck of a nice vacation next winter....

I finished the Ford a long time ago but forgot to update this thread. Once it was done it was very close to impossible to tell it was ever in any kind of accident.

Before,





After,

Nice

What happened to your back to the future truck?

Its sitting, unloved. LoL!! I have too many projects.

Back to working on smashed cars. If anyone needs my services in the Sacramento area, let me know. I am accepting side projects again.

A client dropped off this 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee last week. It was sitting for sale at a new car lot, when someone stole it. They ended up getting chased by the police and crashed the Jeep into something. In the accident it broke the drivers side lower control arm and axel, leaving the Jeep undrivable.

Along with the suspension damage, it damaged the frame, front bumper, hood, grill, damaged the ac condenser, blew the airbags, and destroyed the radiator.

Here it is after I fixed the suspension, and repaired the frame.





Then it was onto the airbags. And annoyingly enough on this model Jeep the passenger airbag deploys through the dash board requiring you to replace the entire dash. So here are the photos of that.





And repaired like new.




Here is the front end now as I am test fitting the parts in prep for the paint. Should have this Jeep done by Monday.

Wow you do good work
