Almost forgot to mention, looks good so far! I would be a bit concerned about the rear frame rails however. Fieros are still relatively plentiful and cheap because of the fire hazard stigma of yester year. Also, you will have a difficult time finding an 88 cradle. besides, the front suspension cradle is also something you are going to want for a full 88 suspension upgrade. They can be found however in the mall over at PFF from time to time, just be prepaired to fork out a bit of cash for it. I have an 87 SE which I am swapping a 3300 behind a 282 but I got into Fieros for a turbo L67 with an F-body top swap into a rust free 88 chassis. I've decided on an F-23 for that swap.

Either way, I will be kicking around if you need any info on Fieros. I've gotten to know them pretty well in the past couple of years! I look forward to seeing more on your swap!

Car is in the garage on jack stands, front suspension is mostly off. Picked up a couple of vents to try on the hood and should have pics tomorrow of that and the floor cleaned and coated.

Also have a set of braided stainless brake hoses on the way.

Brake lines came in the other day. I need to finish grinding on the floors and patch a few spots before I can coat it. Upper control arms are off but lowers are being a pita. The bolts have become one with the bushing sleeves and I have been spraying them with pb blaster. Hopefully they will let go soon and I can get all the front suspension stuff blasted and powdered. Thats all for now.
