A history of Skitimes car (Page 62/72)

Ski,

I followed your build from Texas. I followed your build from England. I followed your build from Florida. I read it over and over again every time i was deployed to the desert flying missions in Iraq and Afghanistan when I had computer time. And now, while I am sitting in DC for two weeks, I sat and spent a few hours reading back through the whole build. It has been an amazing ride watching the car morph into what it is today. I would love to see your car down at the Daytona show. Will it be there? Also, if this car EVER goes up for sale and you come up with an asking price PM ME / CALL ME! This is one Fiero that I am sure anyone on the forum would love to own, me being no exception. The mods are all so tastefully done and the soul of the Fiero has been retained. You, sir, are a star!

Ski,

I like the mods you did to your hood (tasteful and functional) so much I'm replicating them on my car Props to you for being the originator and thanks for sharing the info so others can upgrade their rides!

I heard through the grapevine that this car may be heading to a new home soon. Any truth to the rumor?

Well, this had been one of the hardest things I have done in a long time. My pride and joy was sold. It was like selling one of my own children. I nearly backed out of the deal because I could not stand it. It is going to Colorado via a truck carrier. Forum member Rpro aka Robert Probst president of the Mile High Fiero club has bought it and willl be giving it a good home so I take some solace in that. I vacation in Colorado a lot so I will hopefully see it on some of those trips. So the GT starts another chapter in it's life. Pennocks has been a home for me for many years. Cliff, Thanks so much. Through Pennocks I have made so many friends that otherwise I would of never met.

I think it's time to bring this thread back to the top. As many of you know, I recently acquired skitime's awesome GT. I also promised to keep this thread alive with mod's and repairs I make along the way. I've only had the car a little over 24 hours now, but already the gears are turning in my head.

The first order of business is to freshen it up. It hasn't been driven in two years, so certain things simply need some attention. I noticed a hairline crack developing in the low mount alternator/dogbone bracket, so that's getting TIG'd tomorrow. I want this to be a temporary fix before I purchase a bullit proof kit. I'd very much like to hear from you 3800SC guys on what you've found to be best.... Keeping in mind this is a 5 speed.

It's also time for new tires. Somebody seemed to have stolen the tread off the rears before I got the car. LOL

Door hinge pins and bushings, Silva Light headlamps, and some new undercar LED's is what is in store for this month. I know this isn't exciting stuff, but what it does is bring back a former champion to a state of the art show car.

So, Skitime, What vehicle will be the focus of your attention now? What forum will chronicle your future projects? Solstice, Cobalt, Mustang, hyper miler Geo Metros?

I am enjoying a Mecedes SLK and a modified Geo Tracker setup for offroading and I still have a red Pontiac. A Pontiac Vibe. Only the Mecedes has not been modified yet.
