In today's video, I'll be rescuing a 1985 Pontiac Fiero SE V6 and giving it the first cleaning it's had in years! I'll also be working on getting it running! This car belongs to a good friend of mine and he's wanting it to be his daughter's first car. I'm not going to be doing a super invasive build or anything wild, but fixing it up to be nice and addressing a number of mechanical and cosmetic issues. This video will focus on reviving the car. Obviously, in its current state, the car is in pretty poor shape and of course doesn't run at the moment, but I have high hopes that I'll be able to transform it into a pretty sweet ride!

I still have my 1987 Fiero. My first new car. Still runs ! It looks even better now than when I purchased it from the Pontiac dealer. Always loved the look and drive of the car. You got a beauty there. It’s going to look really great! Always nice to see other Fiero owners keeping them around!

I loved this start up and beginning of restoration video! It always intrigues me when I see old cars parked inside of sheds and in yards if they could ever be up and running again. I’ve been following your videos for many many years since I was in grad school and this just takes me back to the memories of those days! Love the content, keep it coming! Glad to see you are doing well! 😊

Man, I want an ‘85 2M6. Here’s some info that might help you. The hood is modified, the scoop is aftermarket (and ugly), that wing is from an AW11 MR2, and the seats are from an ‘84 Fiero. If you’re in the salt belt, check the rear upper frame rails and engine cradle for rust-through. Can’t wait to see this progress, good luck!!

I was 15 at the time so the 80s is definitely my most nostalgic era for cars. I always loved the Fiero GT's fastback design, even tho the Vb it came with was less than impressive. That said, the standard model was cool in its own right.

I have a Fiero 87 the profile picture you see is mine thing that scares me now after having it since 2018 as I noticed rust on the part of the frame where the engine cradle is I'm hoping I can find somebody to weld it or I can put piece of Steel there where the shock mount is otherwise I might have to get rid of mine or find another Fierro I think I can weld it never was a General Motors fan but I love the Fiero

No, my friend had the GT as a parts car, is way too far gone for saving. I'll end up using most of it to fix the SE, except for the ground effects. My friend prefers the non-GT notchback body.
