Today I polished the fuel lines pics soon

The fuel lines are coated steel. If you polished them, they'll be shiny for about a week, then turn to rust. The fuel rail is about the only thing that is a polishable metal back there.

I think I have a way to keep them shiny I don't know yet if it'll work but I'll atleast try it.

Had a little bit of time today and pulled the calipers off tomorrow i'm going to start removing the front suspension

The state of your clear coat has changed since I saw it last.

Thats because that bumper isn't the original the original is in my building

just got finished removing the rear calipers then when I get home today the fun begins with trying to get the rotors off I think the front ones are rusted onto the hub so should be alot of fun

went and got the rebuilt 4spd today along with a bunch of other parts

Got alot accomplished today with the car today removed front bumper,hood,headlight assemblies,removed radiator,and there's probably some things i'm forgetting but the whole front end is almost pulled apart.Tomorrow we'll see about the rest of the front suspension.I also cleaned my building to make room for more Fiero goodies lol. I'll try to get pics soon!

I've had nothing but problems today I started working on removing the front suspension and the impact gun i was using decided it wasn't going to work right so it kicked back on me and hit me in the wrist so right now my left wrist is killing me.So as of now between tool failure and my wrist I doubt I'll work on the car anymore today.I'm gonna take the impact gun back to my buddy and see if we can figure out whats wrong with it.

I've had a couple people ask if the Fiero I'm selling is the one I'm doing my build thread on.No the Fiero in this thread is the gold one and it is not for sale, my red bumperpad sport coupe is the one that's for sale
Korey

Well since the red car is sold and it looks like the GT is also maybe goldie can start getting some work done.I plan on getting the rebuild kit for the 2.8 and whatever else I want/need and get all the new bushings for the suspension.Then after getting all of that done its time for paint and body work.

Thanks PK!

Nothing big to update but the 2.8 will be going out for machine work soon.Hopefully by the end of next week I'll have it out.

Today I'm going to go and work on cleaning the engine bay up some.I will try to get some pics up this evening.

Good, you do that. Try putting it back together some. Maybe it'll be in fewer than 70 pieces when I come down on the 20th. Mmmmmmk?

I think it is in more than 70 pieces lol. I hope to have the front clip put back together and have it rolling again by the 20th so hopefully that'll be done

Update! I'm dropping the motor off this morning.Now progress is starting to be made and the Fiero meet yesterday made me remember how much I miss driving my car.

The 2.8 is in the shop should have it back in a few weeks so for the mean time I've been working on the Grand National's interior

I heard the 2.8 may be back before Christmas so we'll see

Got the front clip put back on the car today

no real updates I haven't heard anything on the motor so I assume its going well and its been too cold to work on the car

Updated pictures with the front clip back on and the rear end back together.My front suspension pieces should be back this week so I'm hoping to have it back on all fours by next weekend.

Today I took it off jackstands

So like I was saying on facebook, what kind of lift kit is that?

It's called sitting on jackstands for over a month I reckon it'll settle back down now that its on the ground again and with the motor back in it after Xmas we should be all good

I found a almost new Borla exhaust system in Stainless steel has anybody had any experience with there exhaust systems and how did you like it? I'm not sure if I'm going to get it because I do need to put my money in on other parts but still that would be better than the system I have now.

bump would like to know thoughts on this system if not I was thinking about getting a Ocelot system from TFS

There's a Borla on the white car. The tone will change some, but not dramatically. The Ocelot system is just a stainless version of the stock setup. I wouldn't buy either.

From what I can tell, you just need to have that gutted cat welded in and two hangers for the ends to get the tips where they need to be. Why not just fix these problems?

I was looking to update systems my stock system is kinda rusty and looks bad thats why I was thinking about updating

Heres some pics from today! The spot on the plenum is some residue on the paint not a defect!

This morning I got the radiator and fan reinstalled



I also got another crossover pipe which I took off the GT this morning


I also got my front upper and lower control arms back. I need to know how can I get these bushing out my buddy took them to three machine shops the first one didn't do them anymore and the second and third one wanted a ridiculous amount.Any help with trying to get these bushings out is appreciated.
