I've been exposing old instant camera films from a decade long, long time ago. I found this pic from 2003. If you notice- the rocker is the old style prior to my trip to Car Excess in largo, FL.
Nostalgic renderings: #011 back in 2003 getting prep'd and a fresh coat of paint.
Cool, I own page #11 for #011 choptop, hehe.

Rough corners will be smooth out, but for now the bumper is widened out by 3" per side and dropped 3".
In a week or so the bumper should be finished and we'll move onto the front bumper; that too will be tweaked and modified, but using the stock black belt line.

The Jimmy fiberglass bumper.
Nothings going on with #020's chrome engine beautification so, it's time to pay #011 rear bumper a visit. A little bit of white primer and it's all good.
As always, I wanted to maintain the Fiero's DNA thus I had a unique idea to use the front opening on the nose and reverse it and place it onto the rear bumper. IMO it's one way of keeping all things, "Fiero" and not borrowing from known iconic parts (Ferrari or Lamborghini). Thus the bumper is now lowered by 3" and widened by 3". This will eliminate the ugly 84-87 emergency brake cable being noticed.

Time to raise the rear end. I re-installed the Ryne's brakes and hub today. Cleaned a few items and check for issues.
Minor leak, but solved.
New pads:
Final testing of Corvette wheel. I'll have HRE mount a new lip and reduce the offset for better clearance. The original owner got a bit too excited and eat a curb.

why did you raise it Curly ? Because of the new rear bumper ?
It was causing a minor bend in the axle thus new bands to prevent think grease from oozing out. I might turn it back down 1-turn once I drive around. Right now it's 3-fingers, but once you get a few miles it may drop just a bit. D1S originally had the car jacked up in the back, but I wanted it lower.
Originally posted by exoticse: Hey curly when was the last time u fired up #11 ??
I fired #011 up today. It's been nearly 11-years since the engine swap and I need to remove old rubber fuel lines. While firing the car up-I smelled gasoline and discovered a small leak.
