She's home! Just went out to Jacksonville, FL to pick her up. Drove 125 miles back to Ocala with nary a hiccup. Oil pressure 60-65 psi, voltage 13.8, water temp 120. Not bad for 146k miles!

Cars & Concepts #718, automatic. Seems to be 100% original except for a Kenwood stereo (even still has the door chime) Seems to be exactly what I wanted: Good to excellent mechanical condition, cosmetically challenged - the clear coat is clouded and the Beechwood interior is desperately crying out "Please get me some Mr. Mike's!"

Tomorrow begins the cleaning and sorting!

Wow! Door glass is not scratched. Can you tell me where you park at night so I can drive 3,000 km and steal them and drive home??

Wow !!!! nice Fiero man, real nice !!!!
Ahh, the ever so popular dew wipe job. done it myself more than once. Do you have "the tool " to get the screws out ? and when you put them back in, either use a magnet tool to hold the screw or tape over the hole in the dew wipe, screw the screw into the tape, and there it will stay till you screw it into the door. You are gonna change the DW's, right ? with a Fiero that nice, I sure would.

Check out this YouTube DIY:

It's an alternative method for changing the dew wipes that involves removing the glass tracks and shifting the glass that doesn't require the micro-short phillips 'tool'. looks to be more work on one hand, but easier on the other.

If the window stops are removed the door glass will be able to slide up high enough so that the end screws can be reached with a standard screwdriver. Just make sure that you mark them so that they can be re-installed in the same place. Rodney's flat phillips screw driver tool doesn't always work.
