Bump.

I installed the new quarter windows myself today. They need some touching up but otherwise they look great!. The car is finished for now until I can save up some more for new wheels, tires, suspension, and brakes

nice project. i love the looks of the fiero. Great pics too.

It's a shame people use theses cars to make pitiful Ferrari replicas

Looking good..even with the Maaco paint job. Hard to believe that it's almost 20 years old, this definitely makes for a great project car.

those rims definitely gotta go!

cheers!
he he yea the rims are next on my list. Here are some new pics and a vid


Its amazing to think that this Fiero of mine, when I bought it, was a salvage title and the owner had no pink slip. I had to jump through many hoops to get this thing up to speed and registered

So, what is that building that you parked next you? It makes for some interesting scenery for sure.

Also, I checked out your video that you posted a while back. I didn't know a Fiero could sound that nice.

Its called "Lick Observatory" on top of Mount Hamilton. You can see it from pretty much anywhere in the south San Francisco Bay. Many major discoveries in astronomy have been made there. They say on a clear day you can see famous "Half Dome" in Yosemite from there.
Here is a great video on it

I really do like that car. No company (In the US) makes a small RWD car like that anymore.

They are also Roadsters. So you could also include the Miata, S2000 etc. with that.

He was responding to your comment about US manufacturers, so those cars aren't included.

Eh. They're coming out with a Solstice Coupe. And you did ask for small American RWD cars, and that's what I told you.

It's not like they designed the MR2 and Fiero to be some sort of 80's Elises. Just small, affordable sporting cars and the Solstice and the Sky are just that.

I just think there would be a big demand for small (coupe) RWD with all the modders out there. I think a Toyota AE86 Type Car would have a great niche here in the US of A.
