It's amazing how much you can get done once you have all the parts rounded up.
Installed the Axle Bearing Savers from Rodney today too. Was pretty easy to do. Also got the shift linkage put back together with new pins & pushings. Coming together now. If I could get off my lazy butt, I could probably have it on the road by next Saturday - lol - that aint gonna happen. The necessary parts & tools: Seated: Other side: And the shift linkage:
Gotta get that motor back together now:

Those axle support bearings require that you put the sealer on the outside of them before you press them in, that way they will seal correctly. Yours might leak if you didn't do that.
Yesterday I finally put the correct wheel wells on my car. I had wheels wells from a SE bumper pad body on the car even though I had put an Aero body on it over 2 years ago. I could never find the correct wheel wells. AlanD here on the forum helped me fix that.
picked up my new 2m6 its nice on the inside just not the outside aghh its a pos. sorry but it is it has no motor so all i did was push it up on a trailer and get it home. ps this is no ordinary car hauler trailer it only had .25'' of clearance on either side and it was a pain to push the car up on it ( not low enough to the ground) anyway my new 2m6 is gettin a new motor soon prob a 2.5 or a 3.4pushrod 2.5 because its easiest to get my elbows in there. and swap parts 3.4pushrod for horses and torque also its a 4spd stick yeah

Yes sir! Got it. What you see in the pics is where it squeased out once they were seated.
Started dropping the fuel tank to replace the sending unit and the fuel pump. Sending unit is from the Fiero Store. Pump is from the local Chevy dealer with my discount.

Went out on another early morning run with about 100 other cars - up at 04:30! Started at 05:30, and finished by 9:00. Some great cars out - photos and video to follow...
(would be nice to have another Fiero come out and play, one day...)
Ciao!

Today I dumped a car load of fiero parts in my garage including several boxes stacked with smaller parts.. Some parts look like new (like the coolant tubes) and I will replace lesser condition parts on my fiero with such items.. all the other parts will be spares to help out myself and other fiero enthousiasts around here.. Thanks Albert !
wow! how many miles are on that? like 8? very pretty man.
i finished up my ecm conversion and making the wires the correct length for my engine. and now there are issues posted in the "What Went Wrong With Your Fiero...TODAY ?"

I pulled the trailer out today. Started up the GT, it's been at least 7 months since last run. It started on the 1st crank.
Don't get me wrong, that is *beautiful*.. But if you never drive it, what's the point? I never have seen the point in storing something like that and just looking at it.

Nah man... it's all messed up. He pulled the masking tape off that was left on by one of the workers.... So you wouldn't want it because that's missing.
Oh and he does drive it. I've seen it actually move under it's own power.
CoolBlue87GT drives his car all the time. In fact I believe he now has 1736 +/- miles on it. I actually saw him drive it at Daytona AND Punta Gorda once. ( and only once)
This weekend we got a lot of work done on the car. Here is the list.
-Replaced e-brake handle with a NOS one. -Replaced Heater Core (again) -Installed Custom Rear Sway Bar -Installed MSD Cap and Rotor -Installed STI Plug Wires -Installed Custom Intake with K&N Filter -Installed Under Drive Pulley -Installed Hypertech Performance Chip -Installed Hypertech Low Temp Thermostat -Installed RD Solid Cradle Bushings (at least the rear) -Installed More Dynamat -Removed Alternator to installed the more powerful Fiero Store one, but the bolt broke so it will be next weekend until we get the alternator back on.
Hard at work!
Don't worry the car was supported by jack stands the cinderblocks were only to load the suspension for the sway bar.
Still need to be cleaned after paint.
Rear sway bar.
Burning out the cradle bushings in the car, boy was that ever stressful!!!
