Nice! Did you pick that up after I was there or was it at the shop? I have an 88, let me know if you need an extra pair of hands. I also may need parts when you list them

Always looking for people to help out. The car should be mechanically sound after this. I am going to do the front end next year. Going to get all KYB shocks and struts all around. Koni is just to expensive. If you ever want to have the Fieros hang out on the weekend let me know. Hope I wont be without her for to long.

86-88 and also Cavalier 5 speed getrags can be used if you reverse the direction of the shift arms... |

I'd think Beretta/Corsica would work too; might get you up to a '93 model...

Thank you for all the input guys. I just hope to have her by the 19th so I can take her on the fall color tour with NIFE. [This message has been edited by Fiero Thomas (edited 09-26-2019).]

Got the Formula back from the trans shop and wow what a difference. It shifts so nice and smooth now its great. The old trans was in very bad shape. He showed me all the damage and the holes that were siliconed and it was a mess. The input shaft was off center as well. Next is the breaks on the rear then next summer I am going to do the front end and paint [This message has been edited by Fiero Thomas (edited 10-02-2019).]

The Getrag is a very good transmission. In fact, most of the race prepped Fieros out there used the same transmission (albeit with straight cut Webster gears).

Sounds good Todd.
I wanted to say that they fixed my exhaust on my car for no charge as well. That is going to save me a trip to get it fixed. They are a really Fiero friendly shop.

Got the back rims on it today. When I got the car the front rims were gold and the back was black. Decided to go with the gold rims
Thank you for looking

Great looking car. I'm biased, because I have an '87 coupe, but this is the best of the three body styles.

You should consider going full Smokey and the Bandit with this. Gold pin striping and accents will really set it off!
