Hello, I think its time i made a post here. First post here so I'm unsure if this is the right place to post this. I do not own a fiero *yet*. However, this saturday, i am picking up an 84 fiero, I will post pictures when i get it! I'm rather excited to be working on this car, I've always wanted one when i was younger. Can't exactly say "kid:" considering I still am one, but hey. Gotta start somewhere.
edit: forgot to add a photo

Congratulations, Ive been a member of this forum since 2001 and fiero owner since 1994. Welcome to the addiction, there are a ton of helpful people here. The archives (search option) is a vast wealth of knowledge. Pretty much anything you ever want to know about the car you are picking up is located somewhere on this forum.
Enjoy and happy wrenching and driving![This message has been edited by jessesmith121 (edited 04-14-2020).]

Don't do it, stop, go back while you still can, save yourself!!!!
OK, only kidding but it does become a bit of a money/time draining obsession!
I see a northern (NJ from the plate) car so check for rust. Lots of posts on here about rust, especially in hard to see places. Use search.
These are great little cars but there's little point in pouring money into something that's rusted out.
If you get a good car as a starting point, and by good I mean not rusted out, then they are fun to work on and drive. Fixing major rust is just a pain and often requires welding skills and some major effort.
Don't buy a car just because it's cheap, there's probably a reason for it!
Anyway, good luck and we look forward to seeing future posts about whatever you buy.
------------------
Anything I might say is probably worth what you paid for it, so treat it accordingly!
