I saw pat's post about adding one. Looks simple enough. I have an old r12 acc guage that may soon lead a new life as a fuel pressure gauge!

Just a little update:
The problem is the huge Holley tbi unit and little injector. I upped the fuel pressure at the regulator and adjusted the throttle plates more closed and that makes it drivable, but not perfect. I've got to track down a larger fuel injector to do the job right.
In the mean time......
I swung by pat and Linda's and grabbed the 84 bumperpad front from the barn and put it on.

Looks much better already!  Needs a good bath now. I'm trying to get it ready for the parade in Dublin. It could use a good drive to stretch it's legs (and hopefully not a tow!).

Do you have a front emblem for it?

That nose works (with the aforementioned cleaning).

Why does the car appear to ride so high?  Maybe it's the angle.

For the parade, you could make the bumperpads green.  If you 3D printed a leprechaun, you could sit it where the emblem would go.

It's sitting up high because it's getting ready for take off!

Found a couple emblems.

Oh, and a 3.4 emblem for your car.

I haven't read anything about this one, for a bit.  Any update?

It starts, runs, moves, turns, stops, etc.  Everything a car should do.

Is it "finished", then?  I know it had some remaining details.

Is any Fiero ever finished?

The window has a crack.  Dew wipes would be nice.  Tweaks here and there. etc.

Update:
Consider this one a successful rehabilitation. It was given to my brother, a gm mechanic, to be completed. He's replaced all the issues that kept it from being daily driver capable and I think its last need is painting. He drives it occasionally and has fun with it. It’s in good hands.
