Back at it

Finally got around to doing some metal work this weekend.........while I was broken down I got to thinking about the car a bit more, decided on a few things and one of those what in regards to the front end. I got tired of lifting the car to look and play with the front suspension, so I decided to cut off the upper frame members, wheel well liners, headlight supports, etc etc. With this decision I also realize that there isn't any support for the fenders, bumper, hood so I'll be building a one piece front clip using the stock pieces.

After looking at the stock sheet metal I realized that there is a significant frame support there as well, so I aimed to help the support of the chassis in a similar fashion that I did in the rear end with tubular steel. I got a few tubular pieces and the mounting plates welded in before I had to stop, enjoy the pics.

Wiring update

Just a quick update on the wiring spiders web, I got most of the ION wiring harness cleaned up and traced back to the fuse panel or computer, I was trying to get every sensor, connector or wire coiled up all the way to the fuse panel or computer but unfortunately there is many connections that have wires that go to both components, so there is no way to coil it past a certain point. This is going to make the wiring a little more confusing during the next stage, but as long as I do it wire by wire I should be fine. I did end up stripping out all the factory stereo wiring, plus I've found a couple wires that weren't used or I don't need in the Fiero that I might be able to re-purpose into wires for aftermarket gauges. The fun part is going to be when I finish with the factory wire and I need to run the main power wire, aftermarket stereo wiring and all the new wires for the aftermarket gauges, mostly because I want it all to look factory so I am going to need to get some or re-use some GM watertight connectors for all the extra wiring.
