Hrm. "Bad transmission" seems to be the least of that car's problems.

Thanks Ross!

On it like a fly on stink!

Gonna paint it Viper Blue with white stripes, and then get some white wheels for it.

Stay tuned!

I love the weeds around the car. Looks just like where I pulled mine from.

That's a Fiero with no body panels, and the trunk area, nose, and roof have been chopped off. Very common look before an aftermarket body panel kit goes on. The Ferrari wheels tip it off as being a future Ferrari wanna-be.

All the body panels on a Fiero are bolted or riveted on. Easily removed.

Describe.. Ferrari wanna be? the back is no longer a fiero...its all grand prix wide track from the front of a GTP including the drive train...plus, I bought all real parts...Off a 360... Heck I have $900 in a used passenger mirror...HAHA I'm not saying its a totally real Ferrari… all I’m saying is its as real as you will get without the pain of a maintenance bill of a Ferrari. Here is a few difference pics..

Josh, no one here is knocking your project, nothing wrong at all with kit cars, some really neat stuff out there. How ever they are making fun of the "kit car" in the original post, nothing is directed at you.
