hello i`m new to the forum so first off i`ll introduce myself
my name is Ryan and i`ve dreamed of owning a fiero ever since i can remember and up untill about a week ago it remained merely a dream, then i found an 86 gt 4 speed for $2000 and decided that i was gonna buy it. i ended up bartering the guy down to $1600 because the battery was dead and it needed new tires and a new windshield. The plus was the car olny had 114K kms on it. and lucky for me i had a spare set of 1996 pontiac grand am gt rims and tires sitting in my shed. so with a little switch the tire issue was no longer a problem. So after taking it for a drive and being a passenger for the first time since i`ve got it.. i looked down and realized there was coolant dripping out from underneath the dash... diagnosis: heater core issues (i believe) so i took out the heater core (with help from and old thread) and sure enough i tested it with some pressurized air and a bucket of water and it had a decent hole in it..so now my car is at a friend of the families garage getting checked out for what exactly it will need to pass a safety.. hopefully not too mcuh but who knows.. the car is older than i am (i`m 18 btw).. well i thought the car was decent looking before but definately could use a new paint job . which being a university student doesnt always lend well to..but my dad was nice enough to spend about 4 hours one day ( with me compltelty unaware and at work) to go otu and get some polish and rubbing compoud and he went over the entire car and buffed it all up for me..now it looks like it was meant to be an orangey red but still looks amazing and the second my mechanic saw it he was awestruck that i got it for such a good price..so that is currently where i am i will post some pictures and such later but for now thanks for reading
Happy Driving
Ryan

Ryan

Welcome to the forum!!! You will not find a better and more knowledgable group of Fiero enthusiasts. Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself. Good luck on the car ... and as you probably already know .... it's an addiction.

Welcome.....

Welcome to the forum Ryan. Nice to hear that you finally got your dream car.


Yep, they're an addiction. No matter how low your budget, you'll instinctively reach for your wallet when you spot a Fiero for sale.

Welcome Welcome. Where abouts in Ontario are you?

Welcome aboard.

Welcome! I got my first Fiero when I was 18 too, now I'm on #4. They grow on you

Welcome to the Forum and I think you posted in the correct section. I am 72 years young and still love my Fiero. They are something about these cars that no other car can get you addicted like the Fiero can. Good luck and glad to hear from you.

Ryan

Welcome! (oh, and thread moved to GFC)

Welcome to the forum Ryan, To post pics , go to the bottom of the page, you`ll see the PIP poster, just click on there and your in business, lots of nice folks here, for some reason or the other they mostly talk about Fieros? Go figure, Some of them like James will steal your girl friend then post pics of her singing and dancing away --like she doesn`t have a care in the world, funny I can`t get her to do that at home... In either case glad to hear you joined the madness, hold on it gets interesting to say the least, looking forward to your pics...

Ryan,

Oh my.......to be 18 again! Nope, 'cause I didn't buy my new Fiero until I was 22 back in '86.

Welcome to the group.

Welcome, and greetings from London Ontario!

Be sure to look up RubyRedFiero (Oscar). He's in Belle River near you and he's one of our local Fiero gurus. You'll have to come out to the Southern Ontario Fiero Association cruises. http://www.fieros.ca (I'll be making updates to the site this weekend.)

Ryan

wow, nice hot dog! & car too..good find, see you at the London events... & welcome, this place is a haven!!!

Hey Ryan, nice car. I think that is the same car I was considering pursueing, after seeing it posted in the tri-ad a week or so ago (or at least your description matches the ad I saw). I guess, maybe I should have followed up on it. Anyway, welcome. I'm new here as well. Have owned two fieros in the past, unfortunately had to part with them, and am gearing up to get a new one this winter/spring. Good luck with it.

WOW nice GT and a warm welcome

they truly are addicting, ive had bad luck with mine, but it never stopped me, and now i have 3!!

that header core is a little bit of a pain to get to the top bolt(s), but it's an easy fix! no sweat, really nice ride. WELCOME to the addiction

Nice car! Good price.

(walks off grumbling 'cause I can't find one like that for my son and I to get for that price)

Hey, another Canuck - Ontario no less!

Nice score.

See you at Mapleview next year...
