Replaced water pump at 94k ~ $25 done by me - difficult job.
Replaced dead front shocks and worn rears with KYBs at 98k ~ $180 done by me.
Ignition module died at 102k - $400 plus a tow.
Replaced alternator at 103k - did myself for $130.
At some point in the past, the battery must have leaked. The battery tray and chassis underneath was rotted so I had it welded for $225.
Car leaked oil heavily when I got it. Replaced valve cover gasket and oil filter gasket - No longer leaks at all! ~ $35 by myself.
One of my headlights is getting lazy. Just ordered repair kit for $13. Supposed to be easy fix on 87-88 fieros.
Ball joint mount is worn - BJ floats.
Front end bushings need replacement soon.
Car runs great. Could use more power. I'd love to do a 4.9 Caddy V8 swap. But I'm happy with 28mpg.
Handles great. I have Continental 205-55-16s on PT Cruiser rims. The rims are a perfect fit.
Red paint is faded, but no rust on plastic panels :)
Interior holds up well. Beechwood is attractive.
Car is not bad to work on. No timing belt to deal with.
I drove this car to the Fiero 20th anniversary in MI - 1600 mile round trip - no problems.
Update -
I'm at 113k miles now, no new problems.
BTW - A/C still blows ice cold.
They have small-block chevy V8 conversions online somewhere, just google it.
