Been working on my Blue 87 T-top coupe for a while (when time allows), but have been without a running Fiero for far too long. I've been to see several locally, & have chatted with a few folks about fly-in / drive home cars, but after a couple of months diving through the mall / craigslist / ebay, I found a Blue GT 5 speed in PA (8-10 hour drive). I've always wanted a V6 5 speed.

And finally, unloading with a little help from the daughter & her friendly neighborhood tow truck:
Since all my fiero runtime is with the 2.5, I'll probably have tons of questions as we go along. It needs work (I think Lady Gaga was a prior owner judging by the speckle paint gauge surrounds), but thankfully most of the big things are parts I've collected over the years (Glad I hung onto the spare gt exhaust I pulled 11 years ago). I'll hit the mall for the rest, & am building quite a shopping cart on Rodney & Fiero store sites.
This is my third Fiero overall, and I now own two in Factory Blue. Wife is scared they might breed in captivity - what is critical Fiero mass before the family starts talking intervention?
The long-term project - the t-top waiting in the wings & currently serving as interior organ donor:
Planning on documenting the rebuild here, & thanks in advance for any tips/tricks/comments,
