It's less than 2 months away! The MAFOA swap meet is just around the corner on April 22nd. http://calendar.fieropride.com/#MAFOASwap It is located in North East PA. Last year we had people from all over the North East ranging from the New England states, through Upstate NY and Lower PA.

We will be having a dish to pass luncheon and tech sessions. There are parts galore here and I even recently brought home another 88GT to strip out for more 88 parts. Come get the parts you need, or get rid of parts you don't want to store. I've got plenty of room! (just built a 30x50 Fiero storage garage).

The first year went very well considering we had heavy rain that week and it was only the first year. This year we hope to do better with a larger crowd!

Hope to see you there.

It's like hours plus from anywhere... Where is there to sleep?

That location is even worse than trying to get to bloody Carlisle and back in one day.

I would love to attend this year but this little deployment of mine has me wrapped up until oh say June! No MOFOA and Carlisle. So heres my bump for the crowd.

I think I'll be there.

Want to sell that 88 Cradle?

I'll have to see if son has that weekend off.
You are only 20 miles from his house (Millerton).
I hope to make it..

quote Originally posted by 85_Fiero_2M4: I think I'll be there. Want to sell that 88 Cradle?

I might. I want to get it in the garage first and see if I can save the car. The engine had caught fire and the rear of the car is toasted from the top of the engine up. If I get the plastic off and find the frame isn't heat damaged I will probably try to save the car as it is fine otherwise.

Here are some pictures of the car as it came home. It is better than it look as its still snow/mud covered in this picture. -> http://www.mtpisgah.net/Fiero/gallery/album03

I am definately going to try and make this event, so I can meet with the fiero people on this side of the country, and find out about joining the local clubs etc...

My car definately needs a neutrally balanced flywheel from an '88 if you have one and can put it aside for me.

I have one but I'm not sure if I will get a chance to pull it from the car before then. It's in the aforementioned GT. I'm pretty sure that it will be fine that deep in the engine and shouldn't have been effected by the flames which appear to have been fed by a gas line and were primarily on the top of the engine (not from underneath). Check with me in April to see how far along I am in stripping. I've got to get my 3800 back together and out of the garage first but its been way to cold in my garage as of late.

------------------
-Nickster

Is "Red" going to be there? im not sure if I will be able to attend, as I believe the family is planning a surprise get together for my 30th birthday which is the 24th, but I work that day so not sure what day and what they are upto

Big Red or Nickstersredhead? I hope both will be there. Haven't heard from BigRed88 as of late. Hopefully they are coming. They have been here before!

------------------
-Nickster

I'll try to make it. There are a few parts I'm lookin' fer that I should be able to find there.

your wife

sounds like the place to find a good 5spd Getrage

I still have a couple left. One is a Beretta tranny but they work well too.

-Nickster

When I put the 6th Fiero in my storage garage today it got to close to another one and went....

BUMP

------------------
-Nickster

Looks like we will be up to see you. The next Tuesday we leave for Ed's swapmeet. 2 swapmeets in as many weekends. Yehaa.

Sounds great. I'll have to post some pictures of the new garage here!

------------------
-Nickster

Here is the new garage.

Lots of room inside for Fiero's!

Even more!

Parts I've got to get sorted before the swap-meet.

I'm using the lumber in there to build a second floor that I hope to move all the loose parts onto.

Hey Clint, have you got any heavily delaminated fastback lenses that aren't badly cracked or have pieces missing?

I may have one or two. I actually have quite a few really nice GT lenses right now that are available.

Hmm... I need to pick up a motor in Lilly, PA. Troy is sorta on the way. Maybe I can come to the swap meet and get my motor in one weekend.

Clint, do you have any more info on the plans for the day?

Vin

Oh yeah, el bumpo.

Dish to pass lunch. We will likely have a tech-session. (I forget who had volunteered to do something for that). Lots of chatting, and looking at Fiero cars/parts. Selling, buying, bargaining. And if like last year people leaving parts here for me to store and my wife to complain about It's better than them throwing them away and the parts being lost forever though!

------------------
-Nickster

My 2nd floor in the new garage is well underway. I might even have most of the parts sorted by swap-meet time!!!!!

------------------
-Nickster

I still dont know for sure if I can make it down there...i would like to but its a little to early to tell.

The two big things im looking for would be an 87-88 coupe front fasica and a 88 cradle.

I really could go for doner fiero with a getrag for my v8 but I just dont have the room.

1986 Fiero GT if your going, do you want to carpool since its about a 4hr drive, we could split gas/tolls and save a bunch of money.

Clint, you have a PM

Directions to the swap meet can be found here -> http://calendar.fieropride.com/TroyMap.htm

I will provide some better text directions soon. I will also endeavor to make sure everyone travels as least amount of dirt-roads as possible.

I got all of the parts from my lower storage area (a.k.a. old chicken coup) moved into the new garage this weekend. It's starting to take shape!!

Must have been a whole lotta road construction between here and there since we made the trip last year. How in the deuce did you ever afford to pave your driveway?

We're looking forward to seeing you and Nickster's Redhead on the 22nd (in Gordo's truck).

Nah, just plan to make sure traffic is routed differently to avoid the brunt of the back roads.

14 days left!!!!!

-Nickster

Looking more and more like I will be there (with a purpose)!! I think I need to get some stuff...

------------------

Project Fiero GT 2M8 Update thread

And the weather is going to be great this week! I should actually be able to get some sorting done. Especially since I've given up having my 3800 running by the meet. Will be taking loads to the new garage every evening this week and consolidating.

------------------
-Nickster

Hey Clint, I'm also looking for a good 88 flywheel for my 3.4. Got anything?

quote Originally posted by FieroVin: Hey Clint, I'm also looking for a good 88 flywheel for my 3.4. Got anything?

Yes but I haven't pulled it and probably won't get it pulled before the swap meet.

------------------
-Nickster

I finished the 2nd story storage area in the new garage last night. Hope to build stairs on Wednesday. Already got lots of parts up there. Its a great area for the nearly 35 bumpers I have as well as fender well liners and dashes, etc. etc. etc. Perhaps I can get some pictures on Wednesday as well. (school board meeting tonight, I work from 8:00 to 8:00 today.

------------------
-Nickster

So... do I bring a bunch of stuff to "Swap"? How does this work, I've never been to one before. I know what I'm looking for, but what does everyone else need? And if I bring a bunch of parts, that pretty much rules out driving the Fiero.

If you so choose you can. If you just want to come and buy, thats fine, if you just want to come and show off your Fiero, that's fine, if you just want to come and talk to other Fiero-Drivers, that's fine...

------------------
-Nickster

More pictures of stuff available.
Hoods anyone?

Rear clips?

Bumpers?

Etc?

I can't figure out how I lived without such a large garage before.
