My Odds and Ends Post

[RobsFieros]

I got an 88 2.5 5 speed Saturday. It runs geat and shifts great, but that's about all thats great about it. I'm going to have to do alot of work on it to get it ready to sell.

[RobsFieros]

I started getting the 86SE ready to paint today, and sent a picture to a friend who wants to buy it but doesn't want me to paint it.

[RobsFieros]

The 85SE with the 88 2.8 has 45 psi oil pressure at 220 degrees temp at idle. The fan runs with or without the a/c, the windows work, working on the headlight motors today and the power mirrors, got the tach fixed and the temp gauge and the slave replaced.

Where is everybody? Everybody must be at the one day JC Penny sale.

I'm at home fixing to get in my comfortable bed. But I will be there tomorrow. I rescheduled the 2 trucks I had to work on tomorrow to Monday.

Come on Rob, tell these guys why I am buying your 86!  Lol!  Heck, I need more Fiero's, anyway.  Johnnie said I had to stop at 10, as long as they all run and have ac! Lol
After I buy your 86, I want to buy your 84 and paint it the same color!
Everyone is probably saying, "who the heck is this posting!"  I am from Etowah, Tenn., where we don't wear shoes and we carry a shot gun! Lol

I gave $300 for this car and replaced the interior and the engine with a rebuilt 2.8. It's a 4 speed with power mirrors, windows, and locks.

I just sold another Fiero. I sold an 88 SE. Yes I know, they didn't make an 88 SE, but I'm going to. I haven't built the car yet but it'll be an 88 chassis with a 3800SC automatic with GT ground effects and front and rear fascia's. But it'll be a notchie. It'll be painted black with gold ground effects and moulding and the beige interior. It'll have gold GT wheels and lower quarter scoops with the screens painted gold.

Right now the car is an 88 2.5 5 speed.

Sold the 1950 Buick Roadmaster but it won't be out of the shop until the end of next week. But with it gone I should have some more needed room. Then Dereks will be gone next weekend and the gold V8 will be moved outside and I'll move Will's where it use to be and drop the cradle and move Rick's over so he'll have plenty of room to work on his. Then I can start the transformation of Will's 88 coupe to a fastback GT with a 3800SC automatic. Then there's Chad's 86 SE thats going to be transformed to a GT with a 3800SC. Then maybe I can get a 3800SC installed in my 84.

Dewey, you still out there somewhere?

hey rob, still here just haven't had anything to say, maybe it's all this rainy weather. i've got my 85 running again, just keep reading threads on pennocks and replaced a couple of burned out fuses i missed. put in a new distributor and set the timing both which i've never done but it seems to run all right. i have'nt driven it yet i've got the rear bumper and the tail lights off. i think i'm losing some of my enthusiasm. just not enough fiero people close around to interact with on a daily or semi-daily basis. still like the cars though.       oldone in c'ville

Charlie, I jacked your car up today and put it on stands. Then I rolled under it and it looks like it's going to be a pretty simple job. I checked the a/c compressor and it's locked up. I rolled out from under the car and pulled a vacuum on the a/c system of my 85 GT and replaced the orfice tube and gased it back up. But I'm getting closer on your car, at least it's in the air. 

[RobsFieros]

Charlie your cars finished. There's no hurry picking it up.

We've finally started the transformation of the 88 notchie to the 88 fastback. We've also started the 2.8 rebuild which hopefully will be around 250 hp when we're done. I think we've decided to build a 3.1 stroker out of it with a few other mods. Rick's doing a complete ground up restoration on the car. It's the 85 GT t-top car I sold him.
