It's still black. I just masked it off with tape.

Oh, ok, nevermind.
Well, since you have so many projects and so little time, maybe you could.....give one to me?

Let's see some cash.
OK, took it for it's first test drive today. And with the exception of a Code 22 and a quick replacement of the TPS it was perfect. It's running like a new car now!
There are still some things I want to personalize, replace, or upgrade, but the car is a great daily driver again.
here is the tally:
Car $250 + $30 transportation
Clutch $135
Timing Gear $36
Water Pump $16
Oil Pump $48
Seats $40
Coolant, Belts, Oil, Filters, Paint, Primer, JB Weld, Thermostat $85
Miscellany from my parts cars $0
Labor $0 + 2 bruised knuckles
Total out of pocket = $640 for a virtually new running Fiero.
Yeah, I'm good with that.

OK, finished the test drives. I got a Code 22 and 13 so I replaced the TPS and O2 seonsor which fixed those problems and I swapped out the VSS because the speedo was reading inaccurately.
But I had to spend another $26 bringing the total cost to $666
Hmmm, red color, 666, torn-up fender...... I think I have my new name for this car,
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present OLD SCRATCH!

You mean to tell me that out of all of those cars you didn't have one to drive?
When I saw this thread pop up again, I thought you found another "barn" car.

Tragic huh? But I sold off most of my Fieros and all I have left are non-running parts cars and fixers. So the Formula was first since it was the easiest to get operational again.
