What's happenin'!!

Just thought I'd share some pics of some work we've been up to around here.

Shawn's(PURPLE REIN) shop by day and fiero warehouse by night.

Shawn's SC3800 project cars. Must be rough not being able to choose a body because your have TOO MANY!!!


THEN...MR. Minnesota (KEV) the pres. of MFF
His Car tore apart.....

The mess I started out with for his car.....

The nice harness I built with just a few wires needing to be soldered into the fiero harness.......

You probably guessed it by the computer, but yes he's getting a newer 3800 and tranny.
THE OLD SET UP.......

BLOWN TRANNY!!!!!
He could either spend $1000.00 to get it rebuilt, or buy a totaled 94 bonnie w/good drivetrain for $100.00!!!!!

Yeah, he talked us and himself into installing the whole newer setup. OBDII, electronic tranny and all.

Some pics of the '94 motor and tranny....
Not bad for $100.00!!
Almost ready to drop in.



And of course I can't bring my car to the shop without doing something to it.

It's on it's way up for some maintainance.

MORE PICS SOON!!

PURPLE REIN and lowfierogt have engines and parts everywhere!! Every time I think they are going to work on them, they go and order more performance parts!! Pistons, Cams, ECMs, Headers, No2, Rims,.... I just stand around and drool.

THANKS!! MOBILE

Very cool pucs Chad! It's nice to see the MN boyz getting upgrades and modifications done to our Fieros. It seems Shaun's is the place to go for any "harder to reach" areas on the Fiero!

I have a newly rebuilt steering rack from D Morse that I will be putting in soon. (Of course the suspension is underway to.)

Shaun needs to rename his place "Midwest Fiero Shop" The MFF Spring Kickoff should be very interesting.

The consideration for changing the name has already begun. Actually my plan is to move this shop to a bigger facility with the option of a paint booth. ( approx 6,000 to 7,000 sq feet ) then build THE MN FIERO shop 3,000 to 4,000 sp feet on the land I'm moving to ( just a little west. More to come on THE project car..............

P.S. hey Gary what did it run you to have that rack redone ?

So thats how MN folks make it thru the rough winters...so long as its goin in a cool Fiero, not a problem.
Good Luck w/ the biz & booth

No chop-shop here! G! a friend next door ownes a body shop,the kid that owned the bonnie. didn't have ins. on the car and it was a total loss and the junk yards around here told him he would have to pay them $80 for them to take it. So I couldn't turn down a deal like that!

Damn, I'm jealous of you guys! I need a garage, it's like 0 degrees here. Can't barely hang-out outside, let alone work on the car.

Later,
Dave
