So my boyfriend of almost 5 years has finally corrupted me! He LOVES his Fiero and has taken me to a few car shows and after being around them so much, I've fallen in love with these cars. SOOOOO...this weekend, I'll be buying my very own. It will be a project car for a little while, but it will give him and I something else to bond over. He will be working on rebuilding his motor, while I'm working on a motor for mine. Couldn't ask for much more. <3 Hopefully we will have them both completely done by next Spring so we can start taking them both to car shows. MAY THE BEST CAR WIN! (Which will be mine!)
HeavyRfoot...you have done a good job bringing me to the dark side!

not too far from me, if you 2 need any help let me know! also... make sure you get a better engine then he does
We are looking at an 87 gt for her its just a rolling shell right now. Im going 3.1 in mine with a few enternal mods and hers i just rebuilding the 2.8 with a few mods. Hopefully we can go get it this weekend once i get back in town. If it doesnt get sold before then. Figure as im rebuilding mine she can be turning wrenches on hers. It will be a learning thing for her. Also it will be her first standard trans so she will be learning on hers. And for the shows bring it on. You are learning from me im not going to teach u everything i know
Welcome! Hope to see you at some events in the area!! Edit: Just realized we did meet last week :-) I saw "York" and thought it might be you, but then wasn't totally sure!! You'll need a new t-shirt!

Lol! Yeah. I'll need one with a pic of mine instead of his!
Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes. I'm so excited to begin this project with him!
Nice! I'm on the other side of Route 30. I saw that ad too, thought about checking it out, my sister lives in New Market but I didn't want to waste their time. I'm down to turn some wrenches too!

Cool. Yeah I saw it and was like don't even need the motor cuz we have one so perfect deal!
Well i just went out and picked it up for her tonight 675 with motor and all parts. Has like 150000 miles on it and clean as can be under neath. But still going to need some work on her behalf ie cleaning and turning wrenches. We will probably start a build thread togther later on once we get parts rolling in for them. She will be doing a lot of learning with this one since it will be her first automotive project and her first standard. Just hopefully she doesnt get disappointed along the way and put it to the side like ive seen some do. But this one is and will be her baby from start to finish im hoping. And once its done im thinking she will be proud of herself once she steps back and says thats mine and i built that. But she isnt going to beat me in the shows im not going to teach her everything i know. Lol you gotta learn on your own sometimes. And she has already named it as well. Will try my best to get pip to work to start uploading pics of it tomorrow
going to need the work again. no motor in it needs a better paint job since the current one has runs and stuff. also need new interior and head liner along with the matting or the board for the head liner and a few other things I got listed for it
