Description: Not too much done to the fiero yet, I’m mostly trying to keep it in good running condition. the body was swapped from the notchback style by one of the previous owners, there werent actually any factory fastbacks in ’85. future mods (hopefully) will be a motor swap to a 3.8 NA or supercharged V6, and a five speed swap.
