CV seal replaced .. no more leaking tranny fluid
this week im trying to get my interior looking decent.. been driving me nuts...

Betty will TRY to make the trip to Carlisle this year.. and she is entered in the work in progress class id think ive done just a little bit of work
ive been working on a fellow Fiero owners ride lately (hence the lack of progress on my own) he had new heads put on a while back and the mechanic got lazy... and cut the gasket.. the gasket shifted causing an opening in the crankcase, sucking in massive amounts of unmeasured air. this produced a code 35 (IAC) IAC was fine.. i should have his ride done by monday...
Im highly anticipating Carlisle it will be my 2nd show with my OWN Fiero! WOOO!
lets hope i make it!
(BekaintaFunk will be joining me as well WOO!  )

Jerry, got any photos of the repair from the damage from your accident? I saw the accident pics, but haven't seen any updates on the repairs on the damage.

no body repair was done yet... i replaced a bunch of suspension stuff.. popped out the bumper and spray painted it black.. its not horrible but you can tell.. i get a few ideas for the front but im just still not sure which way im going..
and sadly i will not make it to the Dells, been wanting to for years.. but the 25th is far more important. i will walk if i have to , seriously.
i replaced my headlights today (one was old, other was old n yellow) got sylvania silverstars.. theyre nice i can see at night again too..

How is your repair coming along Jerry?
Will your car be roadworthy for the 25th?

well... heres where i am right now.. my house was robbed.. Wii, all the games for it, my guitar, PS2 and $300 was stolen. im behind on bills (hence my rareity online.. cable n internet shut off) and such trying to catch up..
status of the car... barely OK
i DESPERATELY need an 88 y-pipe and a steering rack... i cannot begin to explain how dangerous it is for me driving right now.. but i have no choice.. if i can attain both of those.. it will be stretching it, but i should be able to make it to the 25th.
the y pipe i have now broke at the flange.. we tried welding it, it is past the point of repair now..
the steering rack broke in a really wierd way.. which makes for some interesting driving.. lets just say if you have my car in the air, you can move the right side tire almost 4 inches back and forth.. so everytime i hit the slightest bump you can imagine wht happens to my alignment angles...
other than those 2 things the car is doing fine.. the old parts stopped breaking, now the new ones are going! sheesh does it ever end?!? ( 5 month old alt. died... regulator went bad..glad its at least warrentied)
i hate asking for these things but going to the 25th is one of the most important things in my life (seriously.) if anyone could even help in the slightest way to aid in my obtaining either of those parts i will gladly have your child.
but on the good side of things i am now Emissions Inspection certified in PA

Man that sucks big time, on the positive outlook, be glad you werent home and they attacked you. Im not sure at this point if I am going to the 25th, if I did I would be driving my Ford Fusion, if your intent on going w/ or w/o a Fiero, im sure someone would be able to give you a ride to and from. If i'm still scheduled off work and your desprete for a ride out I might just have to bring my son and make the trip out there.
