Saabkyle04 is back with another episode of his ongoing project with the 85 Pontiac Fiero. This time, he's diving into the front end, tackling the suspension, steering, and brakes. Now, you might be thinking, "Why bother? The car already drove pretty well." Well, my friends, Saabkyle04 is a perfectionist, and when it comes to his friend's daughter's first car, he wants everything to be in tiptop shape. So, he's embarking on a complete chassis rebuild.
But this isn't just any rebuild. Saabkyle04 believes that if you're going to go all out, you might as well make everything look better than it did before. So, along with replacing various components like the control arm bushings, ball joints, brake discs, calipers, and more, he's also taking the time to thoroughly clean and repaint everything. And let me tell you, the end result is going to be practically brand new.
Saabkyle04 gives a shout-out to his sponsors, Dupli-Color, O'Reilly Auto Parts, and Scott Homman Auto, for supporting this project. And let me tell you, their products are top-notch. Saabkyle04 uses Dupli-Color's self-etching primer, automotive sealer, and engine enamel to achieve that durable and professional finish. He emphasizes the importance of proper prep work and shares some handy tips for achieving the best results.
Once all the suspension and steering components are replaced and refreshed, Saabkyle04 starts putting everything back together. And let me tell you, it all looks incredible. From the control arms to the steering rack, everything is practically brand new. And to add a little flair, he even paints the calipers red, just like someone had done in the car's past. It's all about the details, my friends.
So, if you're a fan of Saabkyle04's meticulous work and attention to detail, make sure to check out this video. And don't forget to support his sponsors, because without them, projects like this wouldn't be possible. Stay tuned for the next episode, where Saabkyle04 will tackle the rear suspension and brakes. It's going to be another exciting chapter in this Fiero rebuild saga.
