I think I can come down this Saturday.  It's due to rain, so it would be good if the car were brought in Friday night to allow it to be dry.  All Saturdays of December are pretty much booked up with everyone and this is the only one that may be open.

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Right now, the main thing is the clutch master and slave cylinders.  It's been tanked up with non-ethanol fuel so it's probably good for a while with a little Sta-Bil added to it.  It needs to be washed to get the pollution stains off it, vacuumed out and put out for sale.

I did not touch it, but the paint texture looked very rough, like sidewalk concrete.

The only time I have open this month is after the Club meeting.

I haven't had any inquiries on the car since putting the For Sale sign in the window. It appears we have time to get the work done.

Maybe we can schedule a work Saturday for The Fastback Formula. I would do it but every time I even look at my Fiero the phone rings or a customer comes up.

I should have been more clear about a Work Saturday. I meant a Saturday in the future, not necessarily this Saturday!

People weren't just lining up for tomorrow, anyway.

Interesting read for sure. I am new here but really interested in the car. I sadly work every Saturday so that puts me out for meetings and tech Saturdays but have almost all Monday's off if I can be of help then.

I will plan to call and come out to look at her this Monday if that isn't an issue.

Looking forward to getting to meet and work with someof you soon.

Working downtown, what area of Atlanta's traffic gridlock do you live?

Currently out west in Austell. Not a terrible commute. Cat is currently looking at a different site today though so we might und up South of downtown off 75 instead.

You may want to talk with Raydar at some point to get his secret paths into downtown.  He lives in Douglasville and works at the Georgia Power building. 

At one time my daughter lived in Austell on Anderson Mill off Floyd Rd.  She worked at Chattahoochee Ave near Howell Mill.  She said the fastest way was to take the E/W Connector to Atlanta Rd or S. Atlanta Rd that changes to Marietta Blvd.  But I guess it depends upon which side of Austell you live.

Finally all set on routes and now it looks like we are moving tomorrow.... Life in a 5th wheel.

This should be interesting.  A Fiero as a moving vehicle.

Hey! Welcome! I'm a bit late to the party, as usual. I can give you about three alternates (and derivatives thereof) from the west side, into downtown.
But since you're moving, it's kind of a moot point.

What part of town are you moving to? (I'm about 8-10 miles west of Austell. About six miles due north of the mall, and I-20.))

We are now down in Atlanta South RV Park in McDonough I think it is called. Still settling in here and even that is temporary till my house in Alaska sells and we can get more permanent.
