My 1988 Fiero Coupe

General Info

Hi,

Above is a picture of my Fiero.  I have wanted one of these ever since I first saw the GT model at the 1986 Buffalo Auto Show.

My car is not a GT, but I had to start somewhere. 

I haven't made any changes to the exterior yet.

Taken by the previous owner:

I have continued the effort the previous owner started to add options to the basic little coupe. 

This turned out to be far more difficult than I imagined, but not too hard.
