If I hadn't wasted my time and money on a semester of college, this would've sold long ago... I can almost afford it again but I'm not too sure how fun the drive from El P would be.

I drove it from Albuquerque to El Paso. About 4 hours. Not too bad after a few grand worth of dental work. (J/K) It's was a little bouncy with the 17's on it. With the stockers, it shouldn't be too bad. With all the new suspension, it handles great. I'd drive it anywhere.

Was the windshield raked in the chop? If this was closer and was in need of an engine and trans, it would be mine. I need a "project level" car to swap my good parts into. I wrecked my daily driver on the interstate last week when we had an ice storm. Bounced it off a guard rail. I'm still driving it but it busted the rear clip and now the passenger door is sticking so I'm looking for a replacement.

Unfortunately I'm one of the posters here that has only this to say: - This car still hasn't sold ? Seriously... I LOVE chopped notchies, and for $3500 OBO !? C'mon people, recognize a deal when you see one ! - I am suddenly wishing I hadn't purchased my '87 GT for $3000. I would easily offer that up for this beautiful Fiero. - Good luck with the sale; someone will come along and scoop it up.

Thanks for the reply - it's just the wrong time of year I guess. Have lots of interest just no takers.

You won't believe this.....it's 10 AM, 29 degrees, and snow on the ground. I don't dare show my face in C4Gen.....the Catman will have a field day with me

Oh boo hoo... ____________________________ Pat, I would've bought it already if I had the cash on hand but I spent about $5k on a semester of college this year and it was a total bust as far as any actual learning goes. Can't afford to go back -too much strain on my sanity and it killed my work schedule. Yeah, high value stuff there - in my field of study, no one cares about the stuff anyway.

I hate that! Spend your hard earned money for Knowledge and it does not make a difference! It's funny to live in a place where folks are not used to cold weather - it's actually about normal temps and snow for this time of year. I was looking through my XTC thread and noticed that this time last year, it was just as cold and snowing! It's ok for a few days then it has to go away! It outs a damper in my "Fiero" build time.

Katatak, did you end up buying that T-Top GT there in El Paso? If so, how is it coming along?
Nope, I did not get it! I think it's back up on CL again. This time no pics but the number is the same - asking 2500.00? I need to move a few out before I can think of another one.

This car would look great in your garage - even better with you driving it! Tell me hat you have on your mind and we'll go from there! You never know.

Unless you borrowed it from me, it had a 2.8. (I installed the 3.4 and chopped it.)
I miss that car.......

Got her all cleaned up and filled up the tank with gas, checked the oil and off I went to the Show and Shine. Car runs and drives great - a little "short" for me but you get used to it. Got over to the Show and Shine - Nobody there! WTF! The flyer says the 4th Sunday! Uh - yeah - it's the 5th Sunday today! Missed it by a week! Oh well. It was a good little drive. She's tucked away in my back yard again. She looks good all celaned up! I'll have to take some pics of her and post em later.
Make an offer!

CenTexIndy- Gatesville is very close to me. We could have a G2G, even though I am lacking in the Fiero department. LOL! I would love to own this beast.

I live in Waco now. Need to update my profile. LOL I'm in Killeen every Thursday night. We have a small group (Heart o' Texas Fiero Owners) - that has my Red 88 TTop GT, a black highly modified 87 GT, a black stock 87 GT, a red 86 SE, a maroon 86 SE, a white 86 SE, a white 88 Formula, and a silver 88 GT. And a few other projects currently being worked on. We would love to get together anytime!
The white Formula is for sale if you are interested.
