The real fun was taking the 3/4 stripped bare car for a cruise, its amazing how quick a 4 banger can be with no doors, no hood, no trunk, no fenders, no roof, no windshield, no rear clip, no fender liners, no interior, no dash, speedo or anything but seats and a shifter. I think is in the beginning of part 2.

That car is not even rusted out. I have seen members start out with way worse cars.

Then I get to part two and the car runs drives and everything.

Can we get a vote here... I vote for adding these video's to the faces of death series. It's a sad sad day.

If by some chance you're missing the link to PART 2 right at the end... just click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8icC3g_hG8
(just found it odd that there's a 2:1 view rate on the two parts!)

The naked body (of the car...) driving sequence is in the 2nd part.

i think after the fist one they can't stomach to watch anymore. I know i had a hard time watching. It was almost like watching mythbusters or csi.

LOL, here on the West Coast, cars in that condition are pretty much the worst you find, and when there are 10 others that are rust free however need a few bits to fix them, we take the rusty ones, chop them up and let their parts save 10 other cars.

Well up here in NY fiero's themselves are scarce at best. That one wasn't too bad..... repairable. The only real nice ones i see up here are trailer queens. Right now i'm looking for a fastback gt... HA! not for less then $4000 and a ton of rust.

I second that, I've been waiting for a nice Fastback 5 speed for under 5k with less than 70k on it and its been a stretch. I've seen a few already, but passed them up for stupid reasons.. That looked like a lot of fun though, I'd register it the way it was haha.

I have to agree.
the one part I did like was him driving it without anything on it. I would've loved to have tried that. lol

One thing you can't see in the video, is the actual metal feel. In many many places, though it looked OK, it was paper thin!

Some spots on the frame rails, you could literally push it in with your FINGER!
When I zoomed in on the shifter cable pass through area - it might have looked ok, but when I pulled the cables out, that whole area nearly pulled away!

My heavily loaded, very much rebuilt, '86 GT 5 speed will be up for sale soon if you're still looking.

Let me guess... 6k+? lol then shipping $1500+

Yeah, 6-7, something like that.

The shipping is YOUR fault for living on the wrong coast though.

To hell with shipping, it would be one hell of a good reason for a road trip. I'd bet you could do it in a week and not even be pushing it.

The one I scrapped due to rust was already folding in with the roof on. The doors were hard to open and shut. The rear strut tower rusted free from the upper frame and pushed up through the deck lid. They had to haul it off when I was not home because I was still trying to find a way to save it. (exaggerated, but you get the point.)

Sounds like the one i have now. Only, I still drive it every day.

I thought this was going to be a political thread.

I clicked on it hoping for hard core pr0n.

Then I remembered that I started the thread, and was sorely disappointed at my aging memory.
(or not. what were we talking about?)

What are you talking about? Its something we all love and its naked. I'd call that pr0n. I even got inside it and drove it hard, and put it away wet.
