Back in a Fiero after 25 years (Page 2/2)

I'm in a similar boat myself. Got my first Fiero in 1990 when I got my drivers license, and I have had at least one ever since then. In total, I've owned one of each model year, but the one I held onto was an 86GT that I bought in 2004. Between then and about 2010 it got a 3800 swap, brake upgrade, a paint job in that dark green metallic color they had on the Bonneville in the 90s, Mr Mike's seats, and a lot of misc interior pieces replaced to clean it up. Back in 2016 my GF was driving it and the cap on the heater hose attachment on the original Fiero thermostat gooseneck let go. She overheated the hell out of it before she realized what was going on, and warped both the heads and gummed up the oil rings something fierce. It sat for a lot of years, until this summer when I shipped it up to an old friend's shop and had then drop a brand new reman 3800 in her. Just got her back on the road, and now sorting out all the stuff from letting it sit all those years.

In the meantime I went through a few other cars, and ended up keeping a beater Cadillac SRX and the two Camaros in the pics, a 2010 Hennessey car I found with only 3600 miles on it, and the 69 RS someone did a 396 swap on in the 70s or 80s. But the itch to get in the Fiero never goes away, lol
