this thread makes me sad, brother.

Still available? Take payments? Does Paris come with the car? If so, can I pay you more $$ not to take her?

Is the engine completely shot or does it at least still run? I guess what I'm asking is does it just knock or is the rod through the side of the block already? LMK.

I don't see anything sticking through the engine, but it smoked like crazy when it happened...

I really wish I was closer

Thanks, Chris. The car looks awesome. I'm going to start diagnosing the engine problem tomorrow.

The trip home was interesting. Traffic around NYC is... let's just say "frustrating."

Thanks again for the extra Fiero-in-a-box, too! I wasn't expecting the extra toy!

Don't worry - she will be well taken care of!

what a happy ending! makes me tear up! lol

I love those happy endings

My wife never liked Fieros much, but she wants this one. Damn...

I'll send you a PM, but you were right. There is a nice hole in the side of the oil pan. Time to pull that baby out!

I have a few lines on a new red hood in the correct color. No hurry there since I need to swap out the engine.

Thanks again. Unfortunately/luckily for me, the wife still wants it. Sad that she will get to drive it more, but happy she has finally given in to the Fiero freak in all of us here.

Cheers!

does the wife want a 3800 series II supercharged engine in it?

local guy here has engine/trans in good running order 130,000 miles on it but like i stated its in good order, 1999 buick that was wrecked, he's going to do the wiring harness for a fiero (he just sold his yellow 3800 supercharged car) im sure he could do it for the stock auto although he normally does stick shift cars, i figure he'll want between $1000-1500 for the setup.

matthew

NO - but I do! The guy who wanted to buy my Fino last month wants it again. If he buys it, I'll be doing a 3800SC!

I hope to get to this baby some today and tomorrow - to at least get the engine all the way out...

Wow! Memories!

Is the lingering smell of Bacon in the plus or minus list?

Not sure if that is bacon or Paris Hilton smell...

Rumor has taken good care of me after the sale. Never had better. I hope he gets another Fiero soon!
