prices listed here are the "original" price of the items, the asking price is further down the thread.

Hi everyone, after cutting the price on my fiero SEVERAL times, and STILL not getting any interest, I think it's time to take drastic measures... Time to part this thing out. I need to raise the money for the other expenses (currently in the middle of purchasing a house, and the corvette-vortech project needs some odds and ends).

1988 GT

FW= fiero Warehouse parts...

1 FW: GT open mouth front air dam (original price $340)
2 FW: IMSA quarter panels (original price $240 with mounting holes cut)
3 FW: "sage" deck lid spoiler (like the one on "troyboy's" car, FW charged me $200) one piece with mounting hardware
4 FW: sail panels, tinted (original price $220 pair)
5 Angel Hood vent (already glassed into the hood) vent alone was $150 finishing work needed on bottom side of hood
6 Trans Am front fendors with shaved antanna (make offer)
7 GT side skirts
8 GT front bumper
9 GT rear bumper
10 Door skins (inside and out) the outer door skins come with new dew strips!
11 GT "belt" trim around the entire car
12 GT rear tail lights (passenger side lense is pulling away from body)
13 V8 Archie Battery tray (originally $45)
14 Kris Munson Flush mount headlights, with turn signal covers as well! ( roughly $400 in the combo shipped)
15 Pisa Corp "lambo" deck lid vent ($150), custom fabricated into the rear deck lip (finishing work needed on bottom of deck lid)
16 Enkei RPF-1's 17x7.5 front with 48mm offset (15.2lbs), 17x8 rear with 35mm offset (15.6lbs) these run roughly $250ea they have also been powder coated from Glendale Powder Coaters and Clear coated! (that alone was $65 per wheel) the tires have less than 4K miles on them, balanced, ready to do. I spent roughly $2000 dollars on these.

RD= rodney dickman

17 RD ultimate shift kit (originally $112)
18 RD comp shfter (originally $49)
19 RD shifter rebuild kit ($29) already installed, will be sold as a base with the shifter
20 RD clutch line rebuild kit ($35)
21 Fiero Store Throttle Cable
22 Of course the 5-speed getrag is up for grabs. this is butter smooth and is fed royal purple
23 Shift cables
24 Axles
25 Rear Hubs
26 Sub-frame (very clean frame, only rust is found in the typical area near the battery tray)
27 Clutch
28 Flyhweel
29 Slave cylinder
30 master cylinder
31 radiator
32 fan shroud
33 glass for the removable top
34 ------left empty----
35 rear glass
36 Engine- (hear it before you buy, it better yet drive it! doesn't move, holds oil pressure etc)
36a intake box assembly
37 alternator (NEW with warranty)
38 harness
39 ecu
40 aftermarket steering with with adaptor (momo was adaptor $50, steering wheel was $75)
50 steering rack
51 front control arms, already with poly bushings
52 rear control arms, with poly pushings
53 rear trailing arms, with poly bushings
54 stock 88' springs
55 used set of shocks, struts
56 STILL NEW IN THE BOX shocks and structs (monroe sensi-track)
57 STILL NEW IN THE BOX ball joints
58 spare tire
59 jack
60 seats (in great shape) with POWER DRIVER'S SEAT
61 center console (storage compartment lid is "peeling off")
62 gauge panel (center)
63 gauge panel (main)
64 stock stereo head unit, still funcational!
65 misc. interior trim pieces
66 door left side, loaded (has power windows)
67 door right side, loaded (has power windows)
68 Side view mirrors (power)
69 rear view mirror
70 GT rear Clip (to convert notch to GT)

*******edit*******
71 rear sway bar and mounts
72 front swap bar and mounts

If i've missed anything that you "might" be interested in, let me know. I'd like to see what every one needs, wants...

Please email me as I don't regularly check the forums kerist.abedi@asu.edu

this is my daily driver, and I would need to get "significant" interest in parts prior to tearing it apart, thanks.

Gimme a idea on what you want for the complete engine wiring harness -computer, and the rear cradel.
Also, is the battery box a front mount? If so will the spare tire still fit.

If you end up parting it out I would be interested in the front qaurter panels, rear qaurter panels, and hood. And the sail panels, but you probably want to keep those on the rear clip.

Everyone, please email me, as It's easier for me to keep track that way.

I have been trying to sell the car for $3500... haven't even had ONE person come out to look at it.

AusFiero- not interested in $140shipped, sorry. nothing wrong with it, don't see a reason to take such a big hit.
AusFiero- I also updated the list, and you can see what it will run for a "complete" 5-speed swap (we can work a deal here if you want all together, but the shipping is going to bev kind of high since I am going to have to put it on a pallet).

syc22- I want $3500 for the car

Vinny- computer ($50), harness ($150), rear cradle bare $300
battery box in front, will clear spare tire

Dizzixx- $250 hood, $150 front fenders, rear quarters $150, sails panels $130

Keep in mind everyone, I need a solid response on a reasonable amount of stuff before I start tearing her apart. Once, i've determined that enough people want enough of the stuff, than I'll tear her apart. I cannot just take off odds and ends that will render the vehicle useless. After all, this is still my daily driver and it wont be worth parting only a few things and than sitting on the rest. I don't want to make a salvage yard out of garage and sit on parts for a decade.

Still interested in the rear spoiler. Gotta start somewhere on price right?
How much do you want?
I am definately interested in it and the 5 speed swap, which I forgot to mention the axles as well.
I know shipping wont be cheap but I am kinda used to that with bringing things over here.

okay everyone. I am going to "adjust" some of the prices (meaning reduce them). And i'll get a final decision shortly. I ahve recieved emails (as requested) from some of you guys that are seriously interested in some parts. I need emails everyone! It's easier for me to keep track of what everyone wants that way. Thanks.

You would be able to put me down for the front or rear fenders, both if you could drop the price this would also be time dependent. IE if you want this to happen tomorrow it work work, but if it takes you a few weeks to get around to things thats another story..

I'd love to buy the car, and I've seen your ad on Craigslist and been tempted by it. But my wife would disown me if I spent $3500 right now on another Fiero

thanks EVERYONE for the interest. I am waiting until this weekend to see if a fellow forum member is going to purchase the entire car. Please be patient. Once i determine if he is going to buy, I will obviously sell. Otherwise, I am going to start parting it out THIS sunday and will start the process of selling the parts. It seems like there is enough interest in a reasonable amount of parts. I will also update with new prices sometime later.

thanks again for the interest. I have a local buyer (also a fiero forum guy) looking into purchasing the car. Again, waiting until Sunday, if nothing looks promising this thing is coming apart.... I will start taking the "reserved" orders for parts and listing parts "sold" as i go. Thanks again everyone.

ill take the power side mirrors if no one else has spoken up for them, im assuming this is the mirror with the housing and the small wiring pigtail on the mirror, If possible id love to have the power mirror wiring that runs behind the dash to the switch as well, but thats not as important.

Need a little part. Check the pic. The metal tube running on the firewall between the air cleaner and the rear valve cover. There was a recall that replaced this tube with a different one. Seems the dealers did not removel this tube. They simply put a rubber cap on the end. Do you have one?
