6 freeking degres. couldnt even walk TO the garage...

oooo and i might take you up on that offer!! cause it SURE needs it... (sunroof)

impatiently waiting warmer weather...

how many parts are you going to have this weekend that need to be put in? do you have an outlet in the garage?

no outlet, but i run a few extensions cords from the house out to the garage and im not sure how many parts yet.. maybe we should wait till the weekend after? in hopes of warmer temps and more parts?

Is there anyone close to Bobadoo who has a good kerosene or propane heater he can borrow?
I feel his pain, even working in 20 to 30 degree temps sux, nothing worse than banging a knuckle in freezing temp except maybe trying to get a hard to reach bolt or nut started!

Someone has to have an extra heater they could spare for a couple of weeks!

i have to check my storage but i'm going to see if i can find one of my space hearers... they work great and less of a fire hazard.

A kerosene or propane heater would be much more efficient and is no more of a fire hazard than an electric space heater if used properly, but right now I would say he just needs whatever he can get to help make the work environment a little better. It's rediculous to even try and work in those temps.
Finally_Mine_86_GT, help get this guy hooked up with something to make the job a little more bearable.

Sounds like someone really really wants to work on a car.

i do o yea and the heater thing.. would help a bit.. but this is a problem...





roof in garage.. 2 big holes..

that's nothing that some plastic garbage bags and some duct tape wont fix. then the little space heater i have will heat that place right up... i'll try to look for it tomorrow.

Relax! You've managed to suck all of the fun out of the room.

I think a building stability check is iin order....If the roof falls, the fiero would suffer!

I hope you get it going soon.

no, sorry I got the auto cable selector holder a few hours ago at the junkyard, it will all go out this monday I promise. did you need the air cleaner cap? how about the nut that goes to seal it? you still need pics of how the one part of it mounts?

i feel his pain about the cold
im to cheap to buy a space heater so i just wear 3-4 layers
tight shirt big shirt hoodie coat

no pix needed.. now that i looked at that par i know how it goes... i think id need the 2 that hold that peice on, that peice, and whatever else i told you... i have he nut and top

and no worries! still too cold!! all i need is ONE DAY~! on day of nice weather and ill get a bunch done..

just so theres no confusion, let me know which color part you need, dont want to send you stuff you dont need.

need green+orange

any chance of a list of parts? so i know what i need/am getting...

its all packed up and goes out tomorrow!

man I really hope it warms up soon! poor Jerry comes in everyday stompin and throwing things cause it's so cold out! .....i reaaallly cant wait till Daytona!

i'm going to try and make it out there soon... i'll look again for that space heater tomorrow.

by the way there is a trick to get them to go in without the tip on it... put one nut on a little way down but leave threads on bothends of the nut... thread a second nut on it, back the first one out and tighten the second one till they meet.. now just slowly tighten the outer nut... when your done and you have the stud torqued simply put a open end wrench on the inner nut and back out withthe outer nut... easy...right?

Garage


Ater taking off tire i also saw this..




It was still cold.. ice on my breaker bar..

The flu hit me like a brick wall 3am monday morning and after a visit to the doc office at 11am monday, returning home at 1pm I just woke up at 10:30am tuesday.

Have you got replacement bolt/nuts for the struts? If you can pick up part# AK30 from monroe, they are replacement cam bolts. They aren't very expensive, $7.44 at www.autopartsgiant.com , they should be available at most parts stores.
Otherwise I know someone has to have some decent ones laying around, I'm sure I could scrape a few up if I could figure out how to get them shipped.

meh no biggie.. weather is supposed to warm up here.. im patient.. we are taking Alex's car to Daytona.. som im just doing what i can, when i can! and now thanks to Back On Holiday, i can do alot soon!!

My camera ran outta battery juice in 5 mins.. so you gotta deal w/cell pics..

the garage had a sheet of ice for a floor almost had a few spills..


air box+bracket all in!


here is my power cable, under back exhaust manifold (opposite trunk side) i hope its connected to all the right cables...


this connector is near driver.. what is it for?


What goes here?


Got the bracket (thanks to Back On Holiday) but it seems im missing some little piece(s)? anyone got em?


This is about where she stands All vaccum hoses connected, fuel lines, newer distributor, MAP sensor, top manifold has all of the bolts hand tightened for now..


also.. there is an outlet on the lower intake where does in connect to? and does anyone have THAT hose? (to the right of distributor)

i also took the seats out to put on these REAL nice covers i got from Gordo+Big Red long ago

OK! so need some answers (and parts) so you guys can yell at me to get back to work!!

monday and tues will be dedicated to finally replacing Alex's head in her Fiero though

O2 sensor connector

the idle air control valve goes into the hole next to the coolant hose (if that's what you were asking)

quote also.. there is an outlet on the lower intake where does in connect to? and does anyone have THAT hose? (to the right of distributor)

cold start injector or idle air tube (goes into the back of the throttle body) unless you're talking about something else

Hey Bobadoo,



Keep plugging away and you will soon have your sunny reward !



Weather is absolutely perfect here.

well its already decided, we are going no matter what, but we're taking Alexs car.. Betty needs to much..


this is the tube, i dont see where it connects too... and i need the actual hose..

and whatever the IAC thing is, i need that too!


getting ever closer!!

quote

Yeah, that is for the idle air tube- it connects into the back of the throttle body, just below the upper plenum. And no, I don't have a extra one laying around, sorry. BTW, the seats look good
