The Fiero is the most popular donor so you should be able to find some good help with it. I think you basically just lay your body on your Fiero and start looking for places to connect the mounting points on the body to the Fiero frame. I think everyone does it a little different so you may get different answers depending on who responds. Just make sure the mounting is secure and holds the body in the correct position and you should be OK. It may take a little trial and error to get it right.

We should keep this thread on topic. Sorry all.

If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

Thank you - they are definately MR2 based on everything :(

Do you know of anything that gives detailed information on a fiero build support frame - i have the main frame / body done

My build diary is under pkovgolf's diary and shows my frame to help explain the current state.

Thanks again for your help!

The DVD Extreme sells details an MR2 build. This is the route Extreme took with their replica. There is no Fiero information on the DVD. Actually, I am not aware that they have specific Fiero information at all but I could be wrong.
If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

Can you please tell me what the contact info is for 'Extreme from the UK' you mentioned.

Folks mentioned he had 'precise' framework info for the Fiero and I really need that

Thank you!
Peter

Yes CKI should be able to provide you with all the parts that fit the G28 kit. You have an IE body though, which is a poor splash of a G28 body. You will need to correct a lot of things on it to get everything to fit right.

There is a general criterion on the framing - the rockers measure the same on all our G28 kits, for those use 2x2 angled iron and I measured 54" for each. To connect those to the donor frame use a latter configuration with several 1x1 square tubing around 4" each and weld them at the needed height to accommodate the height of the rocker.

Setting like that (: then make a box of metal fitting the shape of the space under the batwings and that's another mounting place.

Caging the top / deck lid / etc. that requires measuring your own preference of where those go according to your taste - Extreme from UK had a precise cage diagram.

Bummer on the general dimensions not being somewhere

Definitely true on the dash ;0

I don't understand why somebody doesn't post drawings and dimensions?!
I will once I have all of the info.  It is silly not to help others by getting that up on this site. 

Thanks regarding talking with Jackie at CKI - I will find the contact info and send a note.

Does CKI have the G28 parts that will fit mine?

Any thoughts on where I could get the sail window pieces?

I also need mirrors.  Do you know who would have those?

Thanks again for your help!

I've never seen general dimensions posted anywhere. I think you're getting ahead of yourself worrying about the dash though, you are a long long way from being ready to even think about where the dash sits. The dash cannot be placed until the doors are mounted and working.
If you need inner and outer door pieces, you're going to need to contact Jackie at CKI. I don't think he will have the side window (sail) piece that you need though.

"yup" ? .... :)
I assume I know what that means.
Who can I get the door inner outers and inserts from for the G28?  Also, is there anywhere I can get the inserts for the sail window inserts for apparently 'joe's' kit if that is the version I have?

Also, I need to add the dash front mounting piece and the side curved rods for the body support to attach to

Is there anywhere that shows general dimensions so I can get this made?

Thank you!!!
