whoa! only $10,000 for all the Mera goodies. ohhhh and the Mera.....WHO GOT IT? Nelson, has been quiet lately......its always the quiet ones, that get the big score.....

surry friends i spent the loooong hooooottt......weekend in NYC- Manhattan and brooklyn.
buy the unlimited "Metro" pass and you can go anywhere. i love trains.

went to see a 90's rock band. they reunited for me, to be up front with my 5 ft dance floor. quite a achievement for up front. well it was the outside front. great view 'cept i could not see the drummer. till i moved back 20 ft. after like 9 songs. its was so hot in NYC, home is a cool down. at almost 90 degs.

Tom,
you are right. we need an upper dew wipe for the Mera. we cant just drill into the panel, can we? seem too thin and with no metal backer.

now, i am back to work. i have acsess to metal stock. i may come up with something.

Mike
i am totally down with a Mera get togeather.....would be sweet to get the 1986 prototype there too.

funny thing with the, "somewhere in the middle" thing is, if we consider our bragh, "Mr.Fiero In Paradise"....the middle questimates to around LA, California.....if not, in the ocean or something.

that's the long weekend talking, sorry. still it is funny.....tho

actually where are we all located?....that a good question. off the top of my Jet lagged head. uhhhh......

is it?
1 HI-Tom
1OK-Mike
1 AZ-Holmes
1 TX-Rick
2 MI 86 proto- Me
2-3 SC Nelson (i cannot keep up with him) between buying and painting i get lost.
1 WI -Rodney

Later

HOW ABOUT A MERA FALL COLOR TOUR?
some place awesome for fall color. ohhh.... the "Halloween Mera Run To Devils Tower Run"
i would think that the middle is up North here somewhere but hopefully way West of me.....its all corn and flat for 200 miles in all directions except for up Northern MI. Da Youpper, eh. i love trains and MOUNTAINS.....so i nominate somewhere over 5280 ft Ele.
there is a start. maybe.....
cool thing about the Dakota's is the destinations we could choose for the Trip.

time for the pushpin and string Map on the wall.
Later
D

*edit* after browsing a map real quick....the East coast Meras ( I know of 2 in FL also) are pulling us south and and east but good ole Richard has the distance to get us more west than IL. i hope. soo as a Crow flies (straight line) i say the relative middle for the Continental 48 is around Topeka, KS. if FL is involved its more like Wichita KS. maybe even SpringField, MO. to get the actuall drive miles will take a lot longer and tommarrow to start. i am on the case, boys. how aboot a RSVP from those interested, me first

.

Me and Mera X are in. down like a clown.

I put in a bid on this vehicle but was not successful. Your post says $10K was the final sale price but the response I got to my offer said around $16 k. I have no idea as to what the actual price was. I am somewhat more likely to pick up 7014 in the next month or two if it departs the family rthat currently has it.

Nelson, I see a pattern developing here.... tell us about 7014.....inquiring minds want to know.

7014 likely needs an engine but I will be waiting 30 to 45 days to see if it stays in the family or joins my stable. The car is black and has been converted to a F308 replica so I would have to do some work on it to complete a restoration.

Welcome back Dan, you jet setter you!

It's funny you should mention that Mike. I've been toying with the idea to ship my Mera to my dad, who lives in Gardena, Calif, and then throw it up for sale. Of course, then I'd be charging a lot more than the $10K I want out of it. LOL...if I did that, then for sure we'd have to all meet somewhere. I'm confident that I can drive my Mera cross-country. My mom and dad took a tour a while back through Missouri, they loved it.

A little off-topic, but I spent some time over the weekend working on the 88GT. I ended up removing the "restrictor plate" under the two rear grills, and mounting an open grill/screen under the grill...if that makes sense (kinda like the Mera setup). Wow...what a difference, the hot air from the engine compartment now flows freely out, and the rear deck is actually cool-to-the-touch after a long drive. Jeez, I should have done this mod a long time ago! This is probably THE best practical mod for a Fiero, to lower the engine bay temp. I also re-painted the wiper arms and replaced the wipers, and installed new dew wipes. Poor thing...I think the Mera must have felt neglected over the long weekend.
