The new life of the formula fastback

Seat heaters?  In GA?  I thought those were more for Alaska?

I've got heated seats in my G6. They really come in handy. Especially for leather seats.
You (or at least I) can generally get by without them, with cloth upholstery.

I have had vehicles with heated seats, heated side mirrors, heated steering wheel, etc.  My wife did like the heated seats.  Those were leather seats.  Not complaining about the heat, but just another expensive thing to worry about.

The seats were based on the lack of the 88 velcro in the sest base and the production date stamp on the foam.

As for the seat heaters, I have a major set of back problems and so following some practices or workouts I use them to alleviate some of the pain.

[GTRS Fiero]

I'm fortunate, in that I only have 1 set of back problems.  They removed 2 vertebrae, installed fakes, and fused some vertebrae together.

Having a garage again has made things much smoother. Got the fuel filter changed. The rust colored junk that came from the filter was ugly!

Also changed the AC belt while I was in there as it was dqueeling a touch occasionally when the car was warm and had been idling a bunch. Still working on sorting out the pressure gauge issues to get a real idea of the motor temp. Will burp the coolant when I take the car off stands tomorrow.

I also managed to score a full set of 2013 Camaro tail lights and trim bezels to make my own set up for the fiero so I will start the prep for that tomorrow if I get the time before the heat gets to be too much in the garage.

Just waiting now on the shipping quote for the spare 88 cradle I am purchasing and all the parts I ordered from Rodney to arrive so I can start building up the cradle I will be putting the 3.4 DOHC set-up on and preparring for that swap.

Also unboxed the body panels I will be putting on the car and started to layout my battery relocation to the frunk.

Lots of stuff to do yet and that doesn't include all the paint work I have ahead of me!

Hope that I can trouble shoot any remaining issues and be able to make RFTH.

So, you have a house, now?

[NoMad]

Not exactly. I moved in with Marilyn out in Winder. My house in Alaska has not sold yet so I am still not in a position to purchase a home.

Brown muck in the tank?  We cleaned the tank out very well when we put the sender and pump in it. 

[GTRS Fiero]

I thought the muck was in the filter, which should have been replaced when the pump was replaced.

[Fierofool]

We replaced the sending unit, fuel pump and filter sock, fuel filter and injectors.  The tank had been thoroughly cleaned.  It may have even been replaced from the original.  I don't remember.  If it was in the fuel filter it came from the tank. 

[GTRS Fiero]

According to the thread, the tank was from the parts barn.  You posted that you had run cleaner through the tank.  Coild yhe brown stuff have bedn from the cleaner?  Someone mentioned concrete-etch, and someone else mentioned evaporust.

[Fierofool]

I don't know what was used.  Michael did the cleaning, I believe. 

[GTRS Fiero]

He recommended evapo-rust, so probably used that, if he did the cleaning.

Where are you located out here?

I am right on the Stathom side just a little off 211.
