The engine in it wasn't from a Corvette either, and isn't an LS7. It was from a Cadillac Escalade, but was bored out to 427 (7.0L). I think the heads and intake might be for an LS7 though (the LS7 has a unique intake/heads). The LS7 is the only production 427 LS engine though, so the 7.0L on them matches nicely, and hides the coils and injectors, and related wiring.  |

I have pretty much given up on correcting people that its not a CorvetteLS7  . I have a sign with the car that says what it is, but people just see the engine cover. At least I got the Corvette part covered up. It has already been published in at least on issue of a magazine as LS7  .

Hercimer, are those Danyel's headlight buckets? Nice front emblem.
I pulled my tail lights for polishing, and it was filthy back there. So now the rear fascia is off so I can clean that area. Also, the metal clips for the lights are rusty. If anyone knows where I can get new ones, I'll buy, but am reconditioning these, for now.

Hosed off the dirt and funk of Indy #2, aired up the tires, and unless something changes in the next 8-10 hrs, this will forever end 15 years of continuous Fiero ownership for myself and my wife Jane. Been a good run, met lots of great folks, but age, family obligations and life have dictated I move on to other hobbies and endeavors.

Last night, thanks to some awesome people on the FB page, I removed the shifter and cleaned the entire area. Next is to wire wheel everything and paint. Small step...

I got the remnants of bad bulbs out of the sockets using some pliers.
Wasted about an hour burning myself on the overhead lights trying to figure out why the map lights wouldn't work. Finally discovered the ground through 2 of the screws.
Hasn't left my driveway in months. Pretty sure it's not legal to drive. No gauges, dash, headlights, or sway bars.

Finished pulling old brake lines and hoses and unbent shipping bends on new SS lines so they're ready to go in. I may end up putting the old calipers back in for at least this year since I know they work because it looks like I'm buying front hubs instead. The passenger side is making clicking noises and I fear it could fail. The whole front suspension is overdue for a rebuild, everything but the beyond the hubs will probably happen next year. Still plan to replace pads and rotors.  [This message has been edited by jonrev (edited 03-14-2015).]

Installed my new Fierostore front ebrake cable and equalizer. Coupled with new rear calipers and left/right cables I now have a functioning ebrake again. 3 clicks.... This was the last mechanical thing my car needed after a month of rebuilding the front suspension and replacing the rack bushing

Installed headlight trim ring, passenger side. Adjusted headlight brackets to proper height. Silicone on all rubber seals. Installed Pontiac "T" handle on auto shifter. It is helping my right thumb area which seems like is possibly arthritis. [This message has been edited by solotwo (edited 03-24-2015).]

I went "Back to the 80s" and installed a vintage 1988 Delco radio/cassette player in my car, in place of the 90s-era GM CD player I'd been using. Rockin' me some cassettes!!

Over the past few days I've done quite a bit. Last weekend, Fiero #2 came home. In preparation for making it drivable, I did an oil change, flushed the trans fluid, and starting doing a tune up. I ran out of daylight after the three easy sparkplugs.
