The Fiero Revival: The Fixing And The First Drive Of A Car That Hadn’t Moved In Twenty Years


The Fiero Revival: The Fixing And The First Drive Of A Car That Hadn’t Moved In Twenty Years

The 1985 Pontiac Fiero 2M4 that Ronnie Finger dragged out of the woods of Texas for $100 is, in blunt terms, a brave project to take on. Twenty years does funny things to cars, and it basically means that for a novice who has never really messed with a car in deep terms, that they are going to have to undergo a crash-course of vehicle restoration techniques in order to be successful. That’s easier said than done when you are picking out a common project like an older Mustang, but picking a Fiero? That’s pure love, because there isn’t really a better explanation for what is driving the motivation needed to bring a dead car back to life. From the full rebuild of the braking system to the fuel system and so on and so forth, details must be attended to before it is time to fire the car off and even more importantly, drive it. Because that’s the end goal of a revival, isn’t it? You want to take a car that hasn’t seen the road in years and you want to put it back on the road where it belongs. The Fiero might not be your cup of tea but we will give credit due to anyone who takes on a build like this. Anyone who is insane enough to pick up the tools and dive right in is alright in our book!

    Now this one has me tempted to browse Craigslist for a Fiero for a Pro Commuter build. Maybe get one with a blown motor and swap in a Quad Four or Ecotec.
