Hello Pennock's!,
I tried to join a few years ago, but I needed the email from my internet provider. Well, I decided to try again with my yahoo, and here I am! A little about myself, My name is Marty, I'm 20 years old, on my last semester of my Associated of Applied Science for Automotive Technology. I've worked in the aftermarket auto parts business for 3 and a half years at Advance Auto Parts previously, and now at O'Reilly Auto Parts (Which is new to New England). I got the Fiero bug when I was 15, and have since have had 21 cars, of them, 12 have been Fieros.
A little about my current Fieros:
1984 Fiero SE 2.5 auto. saved that little guy from the crusher. I traded a junk 3000gt parts car for it. needs an intake manifold gasket, brakes all around, and has a mere 47,000 miles on the clock.
1985 Fiero GT 3.4 4 speed. Picked it up for 500 bucks with a 2.8 that had a bad timing chain, then bought a 3.4 for 200. Rebuilt the engine myself, and did the swap in a 1 car garage with another fiero in it as well. Been my daily driver, for the most part, since may.
1988 Fiero GT 2.8 auto. picked it up in amazing condition for $4000 with 87,000. Original silver car with power lumbar seat. hopefully going to do a 4.9/440t4 swap in the future. after the 3.4, the 2.8 is just unbearably slow in comparison.
1988 Fiero Currently no motor or trans. This was my second Fiero, and I've had it the longest. I restored the front end suspension completely, no shortcuts, last spring, and am currently in the midst of a 3800sc/getrag swap.
I probably wont buy many more (maybe an 87, the only year I haven't had), but at the moment, I have all 4 major body styles. Plus I am getting married soon....
As soon as I can I'll upload some pics. Most of the people I work with or are friends with dont like fieros, or think they're "Gay." It'll be nice talking to people that actually share my passion! Can't wait to post more about my projects and give and receive advice from everyone!
