I like the concept. I've thought a Fiero would make great base for a TUmbler inspired vehicle.

Rear wheels should be ready this week . Front all welded ready for arms and front wheels. The friend who is making the adapters and arms is doing it around other jobs so I don't want to pester him lol. Trying to track down a cheap set of coilovers or shocks to suit front thinking along the lines of Vx220 vauxhall ones or lotus elise or tvr as it won't be doing any 30 ft jumps.

So sorry its been a while but its been a busy time with work and trying to get the car progressed. I have now fitted the hubs and spacers they are a work of art i think lol. The body has been extended and widened although i am going to revisit the rear end.

I am currently waiting on front arms which should allow me to get a running driving car again i have been promised this week but have discovered that waiting on other people doing bits for me when they get a chance requires patience and a bit of gentle encouragement.

hey paulwayne,
Your work looks great.
Who made your wheel adapters? Are they stainless steel? vertigo

Thanks for the encouraging words. A local engineer made them up for me they are made of steel which is going to make wheels very heavy but strong. The little engine is only going to be able to move it around no high speed chases lol. Been following your build as well looks amazing so far I struggle to get good pictures or to get time to detail what has been done so far. We are having a build night tomorrow night so should have more pics then. Glad to know it's entertaining people .

So got arms to try for size etc set them up against car then had a go at mocking up more of the body what do you think so far.
