I spent a 1/2 hour today, with the wire brush wheel, cleaning up the Fiero floor pans. As I thought, there was minimal rust – most of the paint was just chipping off. Next step is to primer, and then paint the floor pans with…

Today I removed the driver’s side carpet, …and everything looks good. The picture below (of the driver’s side floor pan) looks worse than it is. The paint has bubbled, but there is no rust underneath the bubbles – it has a white powdery substance. I…

I took the front bumper off tonight. Someone is coming tomorrow to pick up the rear bumper, the old trunk deck-lid, and the front bumper. The Ferrari 355 nose will be going on next.

I spent that last 3 nights installing the new leatherette seat covers on my Fiero seats. The original seat skins were in great condition, but I need to change the colour of the seats because I am going in a different direction with the interior…

Look what the UPS guy dropped off today. :) Amazing fiberglass work. This Ferrari 355 bumper will fit in nicely with the overall theme I’m going with.

It was a BIG day today. I put all the fastback components on the Fiero – didn’t take long either, maybe an hour of work.

I have finished the door repair on the Fiero, and I have the outer door skin back on. Feels good to accomplish that, because it seemed like it was taking forever to get that little side job done. Next step, touch up any areas on…

I’m trying to figure out how to remove this part that holds the notchback clip to the Fiero chassis. It looks like it is screwed in.

I bought this stuff called Plastic Metal, made by Bondo. Basically it is liquid metal and epoxy mixed together – it seems to be far stronger than regular body filler. It works great, dries fast, and it is easy to work with. I used it…

I bought these from Princess Auto today. They are really easy to setup. I have been looking around for a set for a long time – most places charge far to much. Princess Auto had them on sale for $59.99 per set – really good…

These just came in the mail today. They were lost somewhere in the U.S. by the postal service, and then they ended up finding the box a month later – WTF? It took over a month to get them, but it was worth the wait…

First, I made a cardboard mock-up to get the generic shape. I then transferred the shape to 18 gauge sheet metal, cut it out, and then I welded it into place. I need to do a little more grinding and then it will be ready.…

I took the outer door panel off to do a proper restoration of that rust hole I discovered. I should have lots of space to grind out any rust, and paint.

On the lower driver’s side door there was a small rusted out hole. Very weird place to get this, because the rest of the door is in terrific shape. The only thing I can think of that would cause this is accidentally grazing the door…

These just came in. They are TERRIFIC quality – far beyond what I expected. The gel coat is the best I have ever seen on aftermarket fiberglass. I did not realize how BIG the 4″ LED lights were – these things are MASSIVE! I can’t…

I just put the last coat on this morning, and they look great. I’m going to let them dry for another 24 hours before I put them back on the rear clip.

I took a little extra time today to sandblast the metal fastback parts from the rear clip. Once that was done, I painted them with 4 thin coats of primer. Tomorrow I will give them two coats of high gloss black paint and let them…

I removed the notchback clip, and the rear bumper today. I started around 12 p.m. and it only took about 2 hours to do. The hardest part in the whole process was removing the gas cap door – it was stuck to the rear clip…

Finally some progress on the interior. I spent about 5 hours tearing down the interior. There were A LOT of redundant wires in there from various electronic installations. Hopefully tomorrow I can start the fastback conversion.
