Inside is all clean, the body comes off next
-
You know, you'll have to pull the duckwork to get the harness all the way out.
-
it will be done tonite after my airplane leaves
-
It's slow going, but it's getting there :-\
-
You know it'll all be worth it when you get it back together and you know it's right. I'm going to assume you want the left rear marker light from looking at the pictures. I think I might have found a coffee shop in Cartersville that we'll meet at around noonish.
-
it is the left.. Let me know where in "c"ville, I'll be there... :)

see you there rob.....

hey i just got my computor back, the cracker barrel is at exit 290( route 20 and 75). about two hours ago i took the fiero to get my computor and i only got three miles and i lost all power. i coasted to the side of the road and it was dead. it would turn over but it would not fire. the fuel pump was'nt coming on and it just was'nt firing. fuses were ok, i swapped relays and nothing. the throttle cable was disconnected from its pin, it looks like it should have some kind of c-clip or ring holding it on the pin. also it seems like a lot of slack in the throttle cable. i reattached the cable and still nothing. this was the first time i have driven it since i got it back from don satruday evening. it seemed to run ok from douglasville, other than my back up lights coming on when i shift to 2nd gear. thats whwat my wife said, she was following me home from dons. could it be the linkage is out of adjustment and not recognizing thast the clutch is down the floor? thoroughly disgussed. had to have it towed home. older one in c'ville

The little car before it's bath and after bath
If there's supposed to be pictures there, I don't see them.
-
Jerry it looks like an entirely different car after you washed it. Now the fun begins...lol
-
just got my computer back after 6 days in the shop.. got the engine and tranny out at 5:00 this morning before my plane got back.. Will start disassembly in about 30 minutes... ???
-
The reason you can see the forward roof panel is it cracked in about 5 places trying to get it unglued and it is easier to re-fiberglas sitting on the car than it is flopping around in my office.. :-[
-
Where did you find that new chassis? ;D
-
It cleaned up real good And than I painted it GLOSS BLACK with rust inhibitor...
-
It looks like brand new, great job.
-
Who else doesn't see any pictures in this thread?
85GT, where are your pictures hosted (Photobucket, etc.)?
-
I don't. I think they're pulling our legs. They're emailing the pics to one another then when they discuss them, they talk like they can see them here.
-
Well, in that case....
-
I don't know why you all can't see them, Iam looking at them
-
He is not useing photobucket. He is useing something to where when you click on the picture it enlarges the picture.
-
It says MVC at the beginning of the url.

Thanks, Rob. The posts I was seeing had nothing but his text. No little red X's or anything else.
-
Wonder why I could see it all?
-

So hows the car coming, I haven't heard anything lately.
-
I have not touched it for a week, I just got over a pretty good cold.. Going to start again tonite after the plane leaves.....
-
Take care of yourself, the car can wait.
-
Has anyone run across the rocker's hitting the top of the valve covers on the 2.8???? I got mine apart and every rocker arm was hitting the top of the valve covers.. you can see the nice clean wear marks....
-
I can't say that I've ever seen that. Are you useing the thick rubber valve cover gaskets?
-
And the bolts should have shoulders on them about half their length.
-
yes thick rubber gaskets and the right shoulder bolts.. Iam wondering if its the cam & lifters i installed ?????
-
Rick installed a .458 lift cam in his and used 1.6 roller rockers and we just knew they would hit the valve covers, but they didn't. I don't know what would cause it.
-
You don't think it could be where the oil is washing the valve cover when it squirts oil out of the rocker arm hole? Or does it look scracthed or scored?
-
Thats what I have, same CAM & Roller rockers.. I always heard this ticking noise since they were installed 33,000 miles ago & I kept saying it sounded like the rockers hitting the valve & every one else they cant... I don't know
-
no... It's wear marks.. 2 marks the same width as the rocker arms all the way down both valve covers.. The first thing i thought of was the oil hitting there
-
hmm....I don't know. You might have to make a plate to space the valve cover up. Maybe take an old valve cover and use it as a template... ???
-
thats what i was thinking....
-
I've got some old covers if you need them....free
-
save a pair.. i cant come up this weekend, but the weekend after thanksgiving I'll come up.. I need to see what else you might have in stock that i need....
-
That'll work. Our club meeting is this weekend so I won't be at the shop anyhow. We're having it in Unicoi Tennessee this month.
Rick and Derek drive down every month to come to the meetings so this month the meetings going to them.
-

-

-
Things are starting to go back together.. Just got the block back from the machine shop with the new cam bearings installed.. Going to reassemble the engine this weekend.. Already have the new rod & main bearings in hand & the gasket kit... Still finising up the fiberglas repair on the roof & left rear quarter panel where my nieghbors 5th wheel floated into it.. Iam still shooting for completion in Feb, paint & all.... :) :)
-
Jerry, I need to get with you this weekend to pick up that exhaust and dash. Give me a call at six seven eight 4 six 7, 1 seven 4 two.
Sorry, can't comment on your progress. Can't see the pictures.
-

Are you done yet? I want to go on a cruise. ;D
-
Not Yet... The company is trying to save money so they cut off the heat inside the building except for the offices.. The car is not in my office so i hav'nt done a thing for two weeks, but tomorrow ( saturday ) it's going to get started again....
-
Yea it has been kinda cold out to work on just about anything. I got me one of those Mr. Heaters propane heaters for when it get real cold, and it helps alot.
-
Are you going to be done in time to ride in the snow?
-
Iam hoping the snow is done when iam finished ;D ;D
