Anyone need to road trip out to Paul Angel's

[NoMad]

I can make this Sunday or an evening work if you like.

Hey, Zack, if you're finished with my stuff, could you drop it by while you're out this way? 

[NoMad]

I sadly have not done the door rebuilds yet as life has gotten very in the way. Happy to return all of it though and just oder one for my tool box. Can get your stuff to you this week if you like.

[Fierofool]

If you still need it, that's OK.  I thought if you were finished, maybe you could bring it back.  Did I give you my bottle of Nylog Blue?

[NoMad]

You did. I have it in the car to retun to you.

Did this happen?

[NoMad]

Yup! Had a good drive out and back. Nice lunch and some folks looking over the cars. Marc's sure makes mine stand out as the ugly duckling though.

Yes excellent time making a new like minded friend...

Yeah mine may be the looker but it's beauty is literally skin deep at this point and yours would clean its clock in EVERY other department. Can't wait to see yours after paint....

Mine is still 99% original, literally, under the body and comes with all the fun of 30+ year 165K mile sensors, calipers, oil leaks, sediment filled radiator, pinched coolant tube, wicked exhaust manifold leak, a slushy slush box, leaking egr, dead egr solenoid, sagging springs, oem shocks, oem bushings, intermittent head lights when warm, duct tape on the coolant cross over pipe, and on and on and on....  She got super hot and almost overheated the moment I slowed to stop by Oreillys to get my battery core charge back..

She's definitely getting the 6 Million Dollar Man treatment in the coming months/year...

I'll get some pics up of Paul's work when I give her a bath...

As it was when I received it from Paul Vargyas

That Fiero had 149K miles on it, last I saw it.  It was listed as better than excellent condition.  That was in 2013.  It did look great.

Cosmetically it was a 9 out of 10, mechanically it was a 6.5 out of 10 as it had a lot of hidden issues that were present on delivery and immediately cropped up after part time daily driving.  Additionally, for instance, the rear calipers were corroded in place and bores pitted beyond repair without sleeving, therefore no ebrake, and was even rusting through the trunk too.. she was NOT better than excellent...

I'm not complaining...it's still a great 88GT for a quality swap...

[GTRS Fiero]

When I saw the trunk, it looked fine.

That Fiero sat for a long time.  I imagine that the calipers ftoze during that time, although he should have known better.  Unfortunately, his first wife died shortly after I saw that Fiero.  His first wife was a wonderful woman, and everyone who knew her even slightly misses her.  She was everything anyone could want in a wife, friend, grandma, etc.  The new woman is not like the first wife.  Paul had a lot going on in the year after his wife died.

My bad.  Different car.  The car I saw had a sunroof.  Yours has a solid roof.
