Back on Track !

Been a hectic and emotional past couple of months. First my father unexpectedly fell ill, was diagnosed with terminal cancer, then quickly passed away.

That was tough, especially for my mother, but we have all begun to come to terms with our loss.



Immediatly after i get home, my daily driver dies (for good) and i am forced to deal with that situation. Get that situation rectified, thanks to a fellow PFF and CFF member (thanks Rueben !), and then i need to help my mom get all my dad's personal and business matters in order,...WHew !!

Amidst all that my gf (future mrs !) and i are in the process of finding and buying a house (pending) !!

With most of that taken care of i can finally get back to #4 !!

Looking back, before the chaos broke out, i was in the process of stripping down my v-8 archie dash and interior i purchased from a fellow PFF member.

Mission accomplished.

Since my daily driver died and it had some fairly new (about 1 year old) speakers installed, i decided to relieve the soon to be junked Honda of it's audio eardrums hehehe.

this set was in the civic door panels.



I also took the other set from the rear of the car as well.

Since i was off yesterday i decided to head to the bone yard looking for some parts for a couple of secret projects i have planned for #4.

I had not been to this particular yard (Preston's) in a while, but i like it because they are very reasonable and things are very organized and easy to find.



Unfortunatly no fieros at this time, but i guess that could also be a good thing hehehe ?

Anyways i saw a few things that got me thinking. Curly you are right that would look good !



Sad this is what our proud brand is coming too.



One thing i was specifically looking for was fiberglass bodykit pieces that i could swipe, tinker with, and modify.



This looked like a possiblity, until i saw the other side,..about 50% of it was missing, on both ends.



A once proud ricer.



One thing i did notice is that a lot of the cars were picked clean,...and i do mean clean !!



This one at least had the dash although not in very good shape.



There looked like a lot of professional bone yard pickers there for sure !

I guess you're too late. Somebody already took them.

IMO it would be best to get going with your brakes. That way you can get the car on the road and then think about tweaking the car. Trust me; your imagination grows when your driving your Fiero around, especially when coming to and from your car; you start seeing items you've once over looked (well that's how it works with me).
