This is the story of my first build. I have lost track of how many cars were sacrificed to the Fiero Gods, but may they all rest in pieces. The journey began some 2 years ago thanks to @ClubDana. Somewhere along the way we came across master builder of Fieros, @FIEROSMIGLA. It has only been with his help that I finally began the build 2 years in the making. We are about 1 month in since deciding which car would be the basis for the build. The frame, engine, tranny, and interior that we are building on is the car that has become known in our circle as the "rolled car". It is our understanding that this car was rebuilt about 3-4 years ago for the daughter of a mid level exec at GM. She had the car for all of 2 months before rolling at a low speed off of some sort of embankment. Now that you know the back story... Here we go...

Just sent @FIEROSMIGLA an email with pics of the "Rolled Car", "Donor Car", and The "Build Car". Thanks to Ron needing to buy a Gold GT that is showroom clean, I have now inherited a Super Clean 86 GT to put the "Kona Blue" (google it) body onto. Hopefully we can get to it this weekend. (fingers crossed).

what ki?nd of wheels you going with ?

I'd like to do staggered. I'm trying to find a wheel that looks like it would come factory on a Ferrari or a Lambo. Something simple that "fits" the car. I plan on a 2 inch drop and 20" all the way around. Having trouble finding what I need. My buddy is a manager at discount tire and I get a major hook-up. I'm 99% sure I'm going to have to re-drill to 5 on 114.3 to have any chance of wheels that I am looking at. p.s. we got the Kona Blue front bumper, hood, rear bumper and clip on. I'm lookin pretty ghetto right now with no ground effects or rear lowers or rear sails as well as half my interior being out. OH WELL... should all be done by monday. (fingers crossed). pics soon...

just to give you an idea, there is a guy in the Fiero club that has 20's all the way around.

You can see it in person if you make it out to the next meeting.

I think I have decided to chop it... Eibach springs, ball joints, camber kit, and 19" TSW Vortex wheels have arrived. Not sure if I am going to put all that stuff on before or after Chop... Decisions, decisions.

Nice !

When do you plan to chop it ??

Hopefully drop it off withing the next 2 weeks. Guessing it'll take a month? so... 2 Fiero meetings from now I hope. Ron and I are both planning to make it to the meeting tonight!

Brakes starting to go. Looks like it's time for an upgrade... Any suggestions? Nothing too crazy. I would like to stay in the $500 range...

I LOVE driving this car. Some people just don't get it, but those people have never driven one...

Sam,

Put your wheels and lowering springs on yet ??

Did you sell the yellow one you guys built yet ?

Your work is always stunning! I can't imagine this is how the car will stay for long!

Big Brake Kit on the way. So is: Powder coated Eibachs, KYB shocks and struts, 19" mesh wheels (similar to factory), Front and Rear Sway bars, Rod dickman adjustable ball joints and rear camber bolts. Can't wait to throw all this stuff on. It'll look like a completely different ride!!!

Sam sent me the lastest pics of his car and it looks hot !!

A teaser !

Installed the German Spec Eibachs (Yellow), KYBs, and 19" Privat Akzents with Dunlop DZ101s. Fronts are 19x8.5s and the Rears are 19x9.5s...

Lost the pics of the KYB and Eibach Install with the cam bolts and Rod Dickman Upper Adjustable Ball Joints. Phone crapped out. Should be able to grab some pixs when we install hubcentric rings. Thinking of changing out the red centers of the Privats with silver and black.
