This 1985 Fiero GT was bought brandnew and taken to the shop and had the 308 body kit put on. The original owner owned it until I bought it about 6-7 months ago. The body is in really good shape. The chassis is completely rust free with 61000 ,miles on it. I drove it home from about 100 miles away from my home in Houston. Front end wobbled around 70 mph.
I bought a 2000 model 3.8 litre SC motor from a wrecked Buick Park Ave Ultra with 60200 miles on it. So the car and motor basically have the same miles.
I bought a mount kit and all the extras to mate the 3800 to the original 4 speed getrag. The motor runs strong, cool and has great oil pressure. No wierd noises etc. Runs very smooth and strong. Excellent motor.
I put coil overs on the back and cut the front springs 1.5 coils. The stance is beautiful. I have the aftermarket Ferrari 15's on it with good tires with a lot of tread.
I cut the trunk and used a spintec muffler. Exhaust runs to the mounts and need to be completed to the back.
All new tie rod ends, bushings, ball joints etc. Nre brakes. I had to use spacers for the calipers to clear the ferrari wheels. Looks very good.
Tranny is strong full of royal purple syncromesh.
I used a Fiero Flyer harness,everything works. I do have a check engine light but I should have that figured out very soon. Shouldnt be a big deal at all.
I rebuilt both headlight motors. They go up and down, up and down, as they should. All blinkers, lights andf gauges work as they should.
The radiator fan is wired straight to the ignition. Needs to be sorted out.
The body is fiberglass obviously and is very straight. The paint is decent at 20 feet.
I covered the front hood with carbon fiber vinyl and it looks like crap up close. 1st time trying it. I painted the hood and put the vinyl on too soon and it pulled up some paint. When I put it backl down you can see where the paint moved. It looks kinda cool and OK from a distance but not show quality. The black paint overall is nice. Ther are chips (which I painted) here and there and some bubble patches in a few spots, But again the body is straight.
Interior is pretty nice,. The dash has a stain that I cant get off but I havent tried too hard. Seats carpet etc are in pretty good shape.
Car has Ferrari decals and emblems. Very nice Momo Stering wheel.
I drove it the other day and it is scary fast.
New brakes, bled brake lines/ all new fluid. Drained coolant system filled with good fluids. Drained tranny and put in new seals and filled with Royal Purple syncromesch,.
New Battery, New wiring, removed fuel tank, cleaned, put in high flow fuel pump.
I replaced wiring, nuts, bolts and screws where needed.
The bad (if you call it that)
Paint bubbles
Parking brake not connected
Probably needs allignment
Exhaust needs to be finished. No biggie
Passenger door wont open from outside. Ill probably have that fixed tomorrow.
Windoen roll up ad down very slow. Either need to be cleaned or these adapters
Adapter linkAC is all there, not hooked up. Blower blows etc.. I also bloked the heater hoses but they ca be rerun. I also removed the thermostat. Im in Texas.
Has spare tire, tools, front compartment very clean.
This whole car is straight and clean, no rust, no other serious issues.
Motor runs like a demond.
Ill post some pics tomorrow.
