not a lot it was raining but I did get some pictures for the sunroof and making a fiberglass top for it . I have a pretty good idea of how I'm going to do it so yeah.
i took my car to have my a/c repaired. wow it sure is cold now. i am now a happy man. now i know what the tray in front of the spare tire is for, to catch water and drain out side.
i drove it to the dr., it was nice and cold in the car and the shifter ball did not move. i even drove it in the rain, when i got home i did dry it off but in a way it does not matter i have a dentist apt. tomorrow, rain every day in northern fl. this time of year.i have a back brace on, plastic front and back. i sweat alot under it. i hate a dirty car and/or water spots. microfiber towels you have to love them.
I picked up my IMSA from the shop. I had the AC fixed...a wiring issue in the control panel.. I had the ignition column lock cylinder replaced (it was sticking and not rotating to start) Also the parking brake control assembly replaced, all new cables earlier than the handle would pull up but not engage the brakes. I had them replace the spark plugs as I had no idea of their age. Plugs were AC1, the first generation plugs by AC Delco..
Seldom does a day go by that I'm not doing something related to the Fiero. (I'm slowly preping the body for home brew paint job.)(Also refurbishing brackets, etc as I remove them, as the license frame below.)
But recently I've been working on getting the belt molding refurbished, not a 100%, but at least it's a 100% better than it was...
Since I have antique tags, and limited driving that I can do.... I decided to replace the license plate with this one.
Please note the small change... it's says "We Built" not "We Build". Think that just about says it all... at least to me...
finally fixed my loose steering column. it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be thanks to jazzman's thread in the tech section and because i fixed the same problem on a jeep not to long ago. I cant wait for the weekend so i can go for a cruise and not have to deal with a column that feels like its about to fall off.
I'm proud to say I did this for the first time, and it is HOT today! Please excuse the mess. Tidiness is not my primary concern right now. Heat indexes are 110-120.
What's up with your tail lights? Did you cut out the lenses?
a previous owner eaither cut or broke the factory decklid hold down straps on my car so i finally made my own so my decklid dosnt hit the rear window anymore. before: after
I love that cupholder center piece. Did you make or buy it?
Here's my contribution to my son's 88 Formula: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nortyd/6006953473/ A newly machined dogbone. I mistakenly ordered the wrong bushings on Ebay and rather than return them, I drew up a replacement and machined it

TXGOOD makes the cupholders. He is a member on here and you can find his for sale thread in the mall. That dogbone mount looks amazing. You could be selling those on here as well if the price were right. I would be interested in one for sure!
You must be single or have a VERY understanding wife.
Not so much understanding but extremely tolerant. And I said the faster I sell this stuff, the sooner we get that room back. So she decided to help clean, take pics and so on. Now she has become my part time apprentice. How can I lose?
I started stripping my 86 GT today so that I could install her body on her new frame.. ooo I saw some nasty stuff.. and I'm in trouble because some parts are so rusty I won't be able to re-use them
Installed new Formula decals on the doors, messed up the passenger side.
Took a silver paint pen to the faded Pontiac Rear Fascia Logo (Fierostore Quality ), came out more white than silver... who knows if it'll come off with the next car wash...
replaced the motor mount on my 84 duke (it finally succumbed to the mighty power of the duke ;-)) ok, that and 27years and an oil leak :-) getting the dog bone back in place was the hardest part. also reinstalled the inner fender wells in the rear and switched the oddball rim so that they all match.
Charged batteries on two cars and am in the middle of an engine swap on two more. The first swap should be completed by the end of the month and the second about one month later.
