From “parts” unknown…
Thanks to some comments on the blog, and Pennock’s Fiero Forum, that unknown part is a blower, and it is used to cool down the electrical system on the Fiero. Since I never had one on mine, I’m keeping this for sure. Just needs a…
Unknown Fiero part
Not really sure what this part is – it’s located in the trunk, passenger side. It looks like a blower that moves air. I’m guessing it is in the trunk to move out exhaust fumes, if any? Gonna’ find out about this thing, I’m interested….
The stripping begins!
I focused on the interior of the car last night, taking out the gauge pod, arm rest, radio console, and some of the trim around the doors. I even started a “vlog” (video blog) for this. I’ll try to record as much video as possible.…
Parts car is now in the garage
With the help of my brother, who pushed at the back while I was steering, it’s in. I’m getting ready to strip the parts. You can see the interior in these pictures – I took the arm rest console off to inspect some of the…
Mmmmmm, steak and veggies on the BBQ
Today was an awesome Spring day! Really nice outside, …sunny, …and everyone is out either walking or driving their hot-rod or bike. What would make this day better than ever is some steak on the BBQ and a cold one, …BOOO-YAAAHHH!! I’m two for two…
I got a 1986 Fiero 2.8 litre “parts” car
Just bought it today… …picked it up in Scarborough for $600. It is in O.K. condition. There are many parts that I can salvage off it. Especially interior. The owner had a bunch of left-over interior pieces (dash, pillars, consoles, etc.) which is great; I…
Koss CD/MP3 radio in the Fiero
I just installed the Koss radio/CD/MP3 player in the Fiero. It really sounds nice (54×4 watts) with the subs. Comes with a remote too. :) But, …I cracked the radio bezel when I reinstalled it. I need a replacement! Damn YOU!!!!!
Getting ready for winter storage
It has been a warm season so far. But the winter will come :) I bought a used charger system. This will keep the battery at %100 so I can start it up in the winter. :)
Home Sweet Home…
The Fiero is home in it’s new garage. Now, …the fun begins. I can do a lot of cool stuff in my own garage. :)
Added the 4 point seat belts
I added the 4 point belts to the Fiero. Sorry, no pics. They look alright, ..but, …I might have to replace them. :( I bought them almost 2 years ago off ebay for a great deal. But they don’t match the interior :( They are…
Seems to be running good
Seems to be running good. Still pulls off the line. Did an oil change a couple of weeks back, …and it runs good. :)
The car comes out of storage
Just picked up the car from storage. The Fiero was stored on a barn, in a closed metal shed. I noticed that a lot of moisture got into the shed because the upper plenum bolts seemed to gain a little bit of rust. Now big…
Just bought a house!
Just finished the finalization on buying a house! How is this Fiero related? We’ll, …this house has a 1.5 garage! Booo-Yahhh! The Fiero now has a home! No more storage!
The car goes into storage
The car is going into storage today in Port Perry, which is just north of Oshawa/Clarington Ontario, Canada.
Set the record straight on Hi-Tech
Just to set the record straight, Hi-Tech development did a good job on this car. Technically, this car is sound. Restoration-wise, …the car is lacking. I’m missing various bolts and fasteners here and there. I’m disappointed in some of the workmanship that was done. Some…
Welcome home!
We’ll, days like this are hard to come by. Especially when you’ve been screwed over for as long as I’ve been. My girlfriend and I went to pick her up and drive her back to my home. Sorry I don’t have any pics. I was…
She’s coming home!
Finally, after missing the deadline for a F$%KING year, she is coming home in the next few days. I’m looking forward to meeting up with my first car again. ;)
Getting a timeline?
Alright, …I’ve got an E.T.A on the Fiero. He is just finishing some small things on it, and it should be done by the end of May. I’ll believe it when I see it.
Another call
Got another call saying that the car is “almost there”. I hope I get it back soon, …because this is stupid. He missed the deadline by almost a year.
Still nothing
Been calling him. No response. Getting pissed-off/worried again. This isn’t worth the money I’m paying.
Finally some progress
We’ll, …I’m happy to say that he has come through with some progress on the Fiero. Take a look at the pictures. The engine is assembled, attached to the cradle, and in the car. It really looks good. I’m feeling a little bit better now…
