Default awesome idea for far in the future!

Hey guys!

I just had the BEST idea! When I get older and have a job and my life has settled down a little, I want to buy a Pontiac Fiero and restore it. Possibly put a L67 in it. There's this awesome video of a white Fiero just on the street and it flys by this car with the camera. It was all glossy and the windows were blacked out and it sounded AWESOME! If I find it again ill post a link. What do you guys think about this idea?

Thanks!
Tyler

Nice idea Tyler.

You might want to buy that Fiero sooner than later. They're getting harder to find. Back in the day, there was a local auto customization shop that specialized in converting Fiero's into knock-off dream cars. Basically, they were used as a cheap donor cars for kit cars. Plus, they weren't the most reliable cars either.

But if you can manage to shoe-horn a L67 in there, I'm all for it! I don't know how you'd do it. The Fiero being a rear engine design. And the L67 being a front engine, FWD design. Would definitely take some creative engineering. But with enough money, anything can be done.

I hope that someday you're able to do it. It's always a good thing to dream about exciting projects like yours. Dreams are free. As Space always says. Never hurts to dream about ideas that are out of the ordinary.

Edit: I was typing my reply when Greg posted the link. Thanks for the link Greg! Stuffing an LS4 into a 1988 Fiero -- FTW!

Any kind of classic car restoration to badassery is something I would always love to see people do. Would be neat if you did it.

I guy with a MINT yellow Fiero comes to the local car shows I judge. It is probably cleaner than Precious if you can believe that!

I've actually been watching videos on youtube about L67 Fieros. SO sexy! Lol and I'm the MOST jealous right now, Skylark65! My moms first car was actually a Fiero. To bad she didn't keep it D:

Fieros are like Taz said very hard to find now.

older Porsches are good cars for that kind of work too.
