Great looking car. Just a little cleaning and I think you could get the smoke damage off as well.

Tip: remember to take the faceplate of that stereo off every time you leave the car. My friend got his stereo (your exact model) stolen and lost a window in the process.

That rubber ducky rocks!!!!!
And yeah, I second removing the faceplate, no matter what the stereo is
And I wouldn't leave the ipod in view either.
And maybe hide the duck too, though if he's a trained attack duck, you most certainly want to leave him where he is

Cigarette smoke is a pain to get off, you will have to use cleaners. Windex or 409 should do the trick. Atleast smoke is troublesome to get out of the interior of electronics, might not be so bad on plastic panels. The acidity of the smoke eats away at stuff too

Looks nice. And only 75k! good find!

when shes not being a a$$ to me yes. but lately all she wants is attention. dang engine light came on again and after putting in a few hundred dollars in to her. now i have to replace everything else i didnt replace before.
so far since i got my gt in november of 07 i have replaced:

distributor cap
rotor
spark plugs
spark plug wires
muffler
intake
pcv valve
water pump
serpentine belt
exhaust manifold gaskets


next projects are:

egr valve (which was the wrong one when i got it)
fuel filter
and what ever else makes her like me that much better

eh, not bad. seems like regular maintenance for a 20 + year old car.

Nice GT and Rubber Ducky. Word of friendly advice: Don't Post you sig everytime you post, it can clutter the thread, just one sig in a thread is good enough. I like the Ipod stand. :P Now you just have to buy the rest of the woodgrain for the dash to match your radio bezel. Still a nice GT.

What do you plan on doing to it?

lol not going with a wood grain trim. thats soooo ugly walmart didnt have the black trim. cuz they are gay they always have the wood trim so i had to get it and i wasnt gonna spend like 10000 million dollars at best buy for the same thing walmart had for cheaper

Yea Wally World is bad about stereo stuff. If you want a better mounting kit for your Fiero, HUmont sells a really nice one. Well worth the money. Here is a link.

Totally agree. My friend wasn't pissed off about the stereo. He couldn't care less about the stereo itself. He was pissed about the window it cost him, the "collateral damage" and loosing the music on his USB stick.

Huh, I haven't had that problem...... I think I used windex on my door panels......Hummmmm...... I guess find a test patch first.

-------------------
I found that if you move the wire harness from the car behind the radio a little to the side where it is originally mounted you may be able to put the radio all the way in instead of having it protrude out.

And wood trim isn't all that bad..... Depends if it's a sticker or not. Mine is real birch wood along with the shift knob that I carved. Looks good to me!



AFTER MY INTERIOR SUEDE TOUCHES and a short throw shifter



COST ABOUT 20 BUCKS for wood, stain, sandpaper, and clear poly........

well maybe my wood grain trim would look better with tan interior but i think the tan interior is SOOOO UGLY i like the gray with black accents

Personal preference I guess.

Can't wait to see when everything is done...

Also there is a product called Spot Shot (Home depot, Sams, etc). It comes in a can and basically spray on the stains and without rubbing the stains disappear. I used this on some of the carpet stains that have been in the car for 20 years literallly and they came up with two apps. I used a terry towel with rubbing but I'd be careful on some of the fabric areas. It's works everywhere but...

DO NOT RUB HARD ON VINYL PIECES BECAUSE THE PAINT MAY RUB OFF.


JUST FYI FOR YOUR INTERIOR TROUBLES.

-----------------
I'LL STICK WITH MY WOOD AND TAN INTERIOR.

hmm well ill have to get that a try and your interior looks nice but it depends on the car color i guess like my car with tan interior would be ugly

NEW PICS!!!

i decided to take my spoiler off and this is what i found


needs paint



right wing stand


right wing stand HUGE HOLE!


left wing stand


inside shot


GUARD DUCKIE!!!!

I've got a GUARD PENGUIN. It's my CD holder.

is the sub permanently attatched? don't know if it's the angle the pic was taken at, but it seems like you'd have a bit more fore-aft room for the seat if it were upside down from the positions it's in now.

lol nice penguin but no the sub is not permanently there. but it is squeezed in between the door and the center console and it wont fit in there up side down that was the first thing we tried. that sub wont move till i get a new sub box aka my new center console im making

I might have a different deck lid if yours is to rough to repair....

im gonna paint it soon and try to fix the hold aka recover it then drill the hole again so maybe it will look better how much do u charge for paint jobs mark?

Each car is a little different. I'd have to see it for a proper quote.

paint is under way!!!! I started my spoiler today but didn't get far I sanded it and that's all pics later tonight

started painting my spoiler and wing stands today! yay!!!

here is the FIRST COAT!!!

new 17" momo rims 245 all the way around




lost my hood emblem the other day

changed the fuel filter on her today and cleaned up someof the engine while waiting on my help to come back home piccs posted tommorow

went to the gas station yesterday b4 going to the brewer game and i came across a beautiful black 2m4 this guy bought for his daughter just rolled over to 60k miles
owner is the guy next to the bigger lady in the green walking out

Wow, that is nice. I wish mine looked that good. Soon enough though, soon enough.

mine too mine looks like crap atm but soon she will be painted soon enough

you think your's looks bad

I see you have that darn clear coming up too. Mine has some other damage though too. It will see some TLC soon though, when I get a little more time and the weather is consistently warm and dry.
