The car is doing well and ready for the Fiero weekend at Daytona next week. I've been methodically bringing it into the 21st century with nicer interior, improved audio and most importantly, modern engine electronics. It's still a bit of a time capsule, but eventually it will get a complete makeover.

Joe, it's probably the first Fiero I've owned that didn't NEED a paint job. Actually, the chin spoiler is off being resurfaced and painted as I type. Another thing I'm finally getting around to is replacing the alternator bracket and dogbone mount you welded up for me back in 2011. The belt alignment was just never the same after the spot repair. Getting it ready for the 30th so it's got to be right.

Removed the engine viewing glass and re-seated it with a fresh seal. Now it's off to the 30th in the morning. See you guys in a few days.

Well, the good news is the car drew a significant award at the 30th this past weekend. However, the 2200 mile round trip was not entirely without incident. While driving along at around 55 mph I heard a "thunk" as though I'd run over something. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw something like a small piece of round steel tubing go tumbling off into the weeds alongside the highway. About 30 seconds later a horrible grinding noise started up, forcing me to make a panic stop to see what damage was done. Turns out that the lower caliper bolt on the left front had backed out entirely. The wife and I walked back (in the rain) over a mile, scouring the area I believed to be where it went sailing off into the grass. We couldn't find it, so I had to get resourceful. There was a road crew working on power lines nearby, so I went and asked the foreman if he had a bucket of nuts and bolts. One of the trucks was pretty well equipped with fastners of various sizes, so I snatched up a handful and went back to the car to see If at least one of them would thread in enough to get me to someplace where I could work on it. Below is a picture my wife snapped while I was "cobbling" it back together.
