Car Forum / Pontiac / Pontiac Fiero / April 2008my 1987
Im in the process of reconstructing the front end of my 1987 4cyl fiero. Hit a deer. Ive banged out most of it but i need to replace bumper cover reinforcement and radiator reinforcement panel. If you guy have either of these extra and could be removed please tell me if i can buy or not. > Im in the process of reconstructing the front end of my 1987 4cyl > fiero. Hit a deer.

If you > guy have either of these extra and could be removed please tell me if > i can buy or not. You should be able to get that stuff in a local junkyard. Pretty standard stuff. If you do have trouble, tell us where you are. Perhaps one of us is nearby and has a parts car. Well i live in Sparta Illinois. 2 hours south of springfield and 2 hours southeast of St. Louis Not as far as i can see, Any local junkyard will not take it off and will not let ME take it off because they want to keep the inner body intact. They will make more money if they sell all exterior parts first and then sell the body/chassis as a whole AFTERWARDS. I am also trying to find the bumper cover for an 87. i have an 85 but thats the one with the rigid trim and square front-(Ugly). I have a parts car also but my stuff is all rusted out and welded.. Not Spot welded, regular welded all around the edges. Any attempt to cut would make it useless. So any help would be greatly accepted. Ive had this car for 6 years. My first car and ive never driven it. =( > Well i live in Sparta Illinois. 2 hours south of springfield and 2 > hours southeast of St. Louis [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > So any help would be greatly accepted.

If you have no help from local clubs or junkyards, then your next best bet would be to drop a line to Ed Parks at the Fiero Factory. I'm sure he has the stuff you need and will ship it up from Huntsville, AL. Wouldn't hurt to ask, anyway. He's pretty easy going. A real gent. I probably have all you need too, but I'm not sure I'm ready to part out the old 87 yet.

I miss it so much. Drove it from 89 to 06 as my only daily. developed a love for alternator belts in its old age??!?! one of the heat light motors was still orginal :-) There is a guy in Mansfiled, about an hour north of Columbus Ohio that parts out Fireos all the time. A long trip from the Illini state but could be worth it. You can also find him on Ebay. He is known to have a lot of body parts, I have even seen him have a frame to sell that was in real good cond!!!

If you don't know who you are looking for, then it doesn't matter who you find, now, does it? Silly boy. Just drive up to Mansfield, get out of the car at the center of town and holler "YO FIERO DUDE!!!" as loud as you can. Then when the cop comes, ask him where the Fiero guy is. The "Fiero Guy" in Mansfield, OH, is Dale Starcher. I haven't corresponded with him for awhile, but he used to have several and had parts.

If you dont see them call me, I'll find you some. Bumpers are kinda big to ship but it can be done for around $150 or so to your area.

I can take that: one guy went by Mazda Robby on ebay his new name appears to be "theduderick", maybe, he has multiple parts on ebay now, if same guy i bought from him before, good parts and willing to deal, worth the drive Cleveland area (lots of current listings) http://search.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W0QQsassZtheduderick the other guys in the ohio area, one one i mentioned below http://search.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W0QQsassZnightflyer87 he is in the mansfield area. took me less than 5 min to find on ebay again, on another point if that is the old MR guy i did not know his new ebay handle as he was going to change it years ago and i just never needed it. I will vouch for MR. >> I feel like a troll in here now, sold my 86 2m4 over a year ago. I >> miss it so much.

Opps, worng guy, found this latter, name pretty much says it all!! He is the guy in or around Mansfield Ohio http://stores.ebay.com/2M4-Dales-Fiero-Parts-Plus >I can take that: > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >>in Ohio is quite hard to find if you don't know who you are looking >>for. So yeah i got the whole front end thing 'fixed... Its rigged up bad. But now i have two more problems. One... my front running or parking lights dont turn on. The blinkers work but the lights do not turn on. I Had to rewire them after some dumb f.cking 'collision' specialist cut my wiring harness in half. Everything works but the parking lights, no power.AND i have an issue about the light motors... They dont go up. Turn on and grind. Would the internal parts from my 85 work on them? mine is still the 87. They are two different motors as you probably know so I really don't know and dont want to buy all new motors or even the expensive a.s rebuild kits... > So yeah i got the whole front end thing 'fixed...

You are better off rebuilding the 87s. They are a much better design. In all likelihood it's just the gears on the motors anyway. Get a couple of kits from Rodney Dickman. http://www.rodneydickman.com/ It's been a long time since I did it, but it's not all that hard. Your best bet. The other possibility is to get used headlight buckets from a junker. Whatever. But stick with the 87-88s, don't go backwards. You would need to swap out the wireloom too, plus a couple relays. Definitely not worth it. I put a set of 87s in my 86GT. That was a step in the "right" direction. :-) "chrishizzle76" ... Would the internal parts from my 85 > work on them? mine is still the 87.

The internals of the motors are different between the 84-86 and 87-88 lights. The 87-88 lights are less prone to self destructing the expensive parts. The most likely problem will cost you $13 to do both headlights. http://www.rodneydickman.com/n21.html If you open up the lid on the side of motor, you are likely to find a bunch of little plastic granules that are the remains of the three plastic pins. The job is easy to do. I have done a few (I have been using 88s as my daily driver since 1988) over the last 380K miles. SignatureBill Fuhrmann
