The Market / Re: 87 GT (not running or drivable) project has to go

This project is claimed and the title has been signed over.

Thanks for coming out and doing all the heavy work Spartanzz. Had a few issues but it is a rolling chassis. I do have an idea to get the stripped shock tower nut removed and reused. I was wrecked and sun burnt today but a litre of pedialyte got me back on my feet.

Looking forward to the 4th weekend if we can get a truck or trailer to load it up. I can use the Forrester to help move the wall of parts if needed.

Spartanzz,
I am available pretty much any weekend so if a couple of others agree on a date that will be good. I have July 5th off for a long weekend.

I just spoke with the Marshall and he was coming back soon. I told him we have a place for it but it would be early July. He is going to give until July 6th but will have to cite me then if it is still here. The fine is very manageable (<$200) and the court date would be 30 days out from that.

Sorry for not responding earlier.

I go to the office in ATL on Tuesdays and Thursdays but am available all other days. Let me know when things are happening and I'll be happy to provide food and drink (bbq, pizza, beer, soda, water, sport drink, whatever; let me know and I'll get it, grill it or smoke it, maybe all three).

My wife and I are fully vaccinated and the kids have one dose. We all still wear a mask when requested. Y'all can figure that out for yourself since we don't care what you do outside.

I had a laugh but you're not wrong.

Don’t be stealing my nickname. 😂 ⛽️ 💨

Not stolen, gifted

This has been a great couple of weeks. I found Fiero friends to pickup and work on my project. My friendly neighbor wanted a playset and my kids outgrew ours at least 5 years ago. I offered it for free if he did the labor and he moved the entire structure to his backyard today and gave me $100.

Everything is coming up Gasmaster!

I know we need some time to get the plan together. I may forget to check the forum regularly but a few of you have my cell. Feel free to share between you as needed. Please anyone new send a text or PM here or my call screening software may block your number.

Edit: Spartan and Wreck are already saved in my phone

That sounds great NoMad. Wreck has first dibs but you are definitely on the list.

Paulding CTY Marshal J came out for a follow up yesterday and was happy to hear there was some interest. He was a member here many years ago and a lot of you helped him move all of his '88 parts when he couldn't climb into it anymore.

He gave me two weeks but I am 80% sure I can hold out until at least July 10th if needed. I'm willing to pay a bit of fines to reach that date if we can get it saved.

I can take video calls and have you walk me around instead of driving. No zoom; VNC, Teams or Webex are fine.

I'm going to get the hoist from down the hill tomorrow (my hoist and hill). The cradle/subframe is fine and can be installed with 4 bolts. I'm just medically incapable of moving the subframe.

edit: I meant no to zoom. VNC, Teams and Webex are OK.

I'm digging the cradle/transaxle and the engine mount out of my Empire of Dirt this evening and tomorrow. The (harbor frightening) engine stand is included with the car (no money).

I'll have some pictures of the cradle and motor tomorrow. Sorry this is coming in drips. I am torn between getting this taken care, the storms, and my work schedule.

I think it might be a pretty complicated project for a HS due to how dismantled it is.

Hi folks,
I am in the Dallas/Hiram area and have an 87 GT project car that needs to go. I was in the process of upgrading to the Camaro motor when medical issues prevented me from working on it. It is possible to be made into a working car, just not by me.

The cradle has been removed and is sitting in my garage on a cheap dolly with the transaxle and shock towers still attached. The block is on an engine stand and has been machined for a rebuild. The original flexplate has also been matched to the crank. The rear of the car is on jack stands. Front wheels are in place. I did not order the motor rebuild kit after machining so the journals will need to be measured for bearing size. I may have the machining spec sheet from Goza Machine in Alatoona.

It is dark so I can't get any decent pictures right now. I will post some tomorrow.

I'm not sure how to move it without damage but it is up for grabs. I do not want money. I just need it gone quickly. I am even fine with someone taking it to part it out.
