So fieros are pretty cheap nowadays, what are the thoughts on them as project cars?

They are actually not cheap at all and an engine swap is mandatory to have fun in one. Why bother?
Daniel Jenkins
I have a co-worker that has like 4 Fieros that he restored because he thinks they'll be worth something someday lol.
Leo Ross
Find one that's already been swapped then, they're just about more common than stock ones.
Connor Green
They're only not cheap if you go for an 88, which is basically the only good model to get for the improved suspension. Otherwise, I'm seeing them for $5k and under, even for under 100k miles.
Engine swap mostly mandatory on the I4, the V6 is alright. Not fancy but not as underpowered.
Still would rather recommend a C4 and learn to maintain that instead of taking on a whole project, but that's just me.

Goddamn I love Pontiac, posting Pontiacs
Jacob Robinson
They're great cars. Any problem you have with the Fiero has an aftermarket fix. Even the dashboard/door panels.
Nicholas Peterson
This is true. Even have hatch kits and all kinds of crazy shit. Location? I've got a bunch of Fiero shit I'm probably going to toss out soon, don't need 5 center consoles personally, for example.
Robert Fisher
Fucking gross
Brody Cox
Wow what a hacked together heap of garbage, I hope it's fast at least.

I've been eyeing this one on craigslist.

Just sold my foxbody and was thinking about getting a miata. But they want $4k for a piece of shit 4 cyl car. NTY. I can buy a fox for $2k.
I really like the way the fiero looks. I'm sure bitches would love it too. Either that or maybe get a turd gen. However, I still have a 2 project cars I haven't finished, so I really shouldn't be buying another.
Jonathan Scott
did you like your foxbody?
Connor Roberts
Foxbody was super fun. V8 5 speed. Bought it for $2600 and sold it for a grand profit a year later after doing some simple fixes too it. Trying to buy a house and too many projects. Also couldn't keep it on the driveway and didn't want to park it in the street.
It was super reliable too. Only downside was the chassis is pretty loose, but that is fixed with subframe connectors. I'm not a crazy touge guy so it didn't bother me that much, but I noticed when I would lift it up with a jack.
I'd buy another if the opportunity came. Just trying out different cars to see what I like best.
Grayson Jackson
Gonna chime in just with my experience. Super fun, the mod bug can bite you hard though. Frame connectors, torque box reinforcements, exhaust, short shifter, rear end gears, then STOP if you value your wallet. Parts are so cheap it's way too tempting to just upgrade and upgrade.
Adrian Ross
A friend of mine picked up a 1988 fierro two weeks ago. It has already coded and two pistons are misfiring. Now it just looks nice underneath the cover in the parking lot.
Jordan Sanchez
Wrong, the chopped top is mandatory for it to not look like absolute trash.

Chop tops are gay and you should feel bad for your shit taste
Joseph Lewis
My bad taste? Enjoy your 80's styling brah.
Connor Gray
Nice opinion faggot, did you get it from your boyfriend like your venereal diseases?
Carter Davis
An ls3 swap... huh
Eli Russell
Implying I don't like 80's styling/ the best styling.
Jamming on some retro wave or the soundtrack for Drive.
Cameron Robinson
I like Fiero's OP, dumping Fiero race cars

This thread is eye opening for me. I never realized people truly liked fieros. This must be how people view my love of 90s nissans.

Mid engine, rear wheel drive. 80's styling. What is there not to like?

One that isn't a piece of shit isn't cheap.
They require too much work to be a decent car to be worth it. Seriously, you have to find a nice rust free one, then you have to swap it and revamp the suspension for it to even be worth driving.
Justin Hughes
Or start with an 88
Around here, they go for 3k+ for good runners
And then any number of engine swaps later and you've got a great little car.
Samuel Sanchez
I love Fieros.
I bought a cheap one when i was 18, and got bit hard though.
Luke Adams
Better off getting an mr2 with a fiero body kit
Andrew Diaz
>dude let's just ruin the visibility and the headroom for looks lmao
People like you are why the new Camaro has APC windows
Xavier Butler
Might as well post my GTP then since this is here
Ethan Moore
IDK. Just seems like a cheap knock off of an expensive car. Like you'll ever be taken seriously in one. Do they even have decent brakes or handle well at all? Do they have limited slip? We already know the interiors are total 80s GM shit.
Logan Rodriguez
Choptops were a mistake
Andrew Carter
This guy is going for widebody and put some rocket bunny stuff on his fiero
Kevin Sanders
I like it.
Alexander Cooper
Right, I think it looks pretty sick
Leo Perry
The rear fender wells are very shallow, so if you're thinking having sporty wheel fitment think again.
Leo Moore
I love fieros so much I have one as my fursona.

Nathan Rogers
A Fiero is a lot like a fox body that never came with a good engine except for the whole MR thing. MR cars are insane and if you fall in love with the weight balance of either an MR2 or a Fiero then you have a pretty huge gulf to cross between them and a good MR car.
