Fiero Trike

Here's a truly unique "car" I saw over the Memorial Day weekend.  We were stopped for lunch at the Carousel in Warrenton, VA, and this amazing Pontiac-Fiero-made-trike pulled in.  My wife spotted it first, and I knew it had to be the next Car Bizarre.

According to owner Daniel Tate, it started life as a 1989 Fiero.  The car front end was chopped off, and the chopper bits added on.  It runs the original motor, with a turbocharger as well!  Mr. Tate didn't build this creation, but when the original owner died of cancer, Daniel decided to buy and maintain the trike as a rolling tribute.

Such creations based on air-cooled VWs are fairly common, but I've never seen one done from a Fiero--have you?  I couldn't resist a few more pics, so here you go.
