Added a 88 Formula to the heard today (Page 1/4)

Added an 88 formula to the heard today. Got the car from the original owner bought new in 88. it has 117,000 on the clock but it runs top notch. The paint is bad and it has steering wheel wobel that needs to be fixed. The car came with three pallets of extra parts. I have no clue what half the **** is that I got. The car is running on a straight pipe setup so it is really loud. In the parts is a new stainless steel exhaust set up complete with a new cat. Thinking about selling the cat. Other parts I will be listing soon for sale. Here are a couple of photos that I got tonight. I will add more later.

Thank You for looking.

Looks just like the first Fiero I ever owned....actually, the first 2 I ever owned. I had to have a spare for parts afterall.

Went and bought parts for it today. I got the radio bezel, trim piece for the door, and a trunk popper for less then 30.00

The interior is in not that bad of a shape. The dash is cracked but I got a new dash with it that is perfect. Will do that next year. Came with new floor mats as well. I got the radio today as well and speakers. Will put them in next weekend.

Well today I took her from one shop to another. Had all the oil leaks fixed on the car and a new oil pan put in. Got the stearing wheel woble fixed. The issue I have now is the trans is leaking from the shaft and soaking the clutch. I have worked with the people that I dropped the car off before. They are a real good shop. I asked them to put in a used trans and a new clutch at the least. Or rebuild the one that is there. I have to keep this on the cheap.

Today I also installed LED headlights, LED dome lights. I put in a new pulse board for the wipers and that made my issues worse so I took it out and requested an RMA for it. Installed new horn buttons as well. Sorry no pics today. I will update when I get some news.

Thank You for reading
Thomas

Is that a factory amp behind the carpet on the passenger side?

Got the call from the trans shop today. Looks like there is a big hole in the trans that was siliconed to try to keep the fluid in the car. So they found a used trans in the us. He said its very hard to find a trans for the car due to it being an 88. But it will be fixed.

that isn't an 88-only transmission...
86-88 and also Cavalier 5 speed getrags can be used if you reverse the direction of the shift arms...
