What paint/dye did you use? I'm looking to do the same in my car.

BTW, I spent the day putting on a new alternator and repairing wiring...my two least favorite Fiero chores!

He said his back was a little sore, but no scraps or road rash. Brand new 2008 Kawasawki Ninja that he had for six days. Just got in motorcycle endorsement which had a no freeway restriction on it.

I washed and waxed the car http://www.drivelinesinc.com/high-gloss.htm trying out this wax and Speed Demon wax detailer from www.surfcitygarage.com. Surf City Garage was a sponsor on the 2010 Power Tour. I got several freebe samples from them, so I'm trying them out. It was almost cool enough to work outside, but I still was sweat soaked afterward.

Mated the trans to the V8....

The 88 got another alignment, this time got it in spec. Still a bit of slop in it thanks to a tired steering rack and some worn wheel bearings, so that's added to the to-do list

Got a package from the Fiero Store - auto trans side gasket and pressure switch.

did some glass work on my door panels today but ran outa resin grrr

I got the engine back together and then thought about pushing the car off a cliff.

Working on a new center console on Snapperhead and installing new stereo in Whippersnapper.

I installed my Web Electric DRL-1 daylight running light module and it works great. Quite easy to install actually and I recommend it.

4.9 ongoing project

I beat off the tie rod and ball joint that got bent into a custom fit from when the previous owner while driving had the control arm fall off.... and loosened all the cradle bolts so when the day comes they are ready to come out.... Now to build something so the motor floats in place, thinking a 6x6 board and a steel pipe.

In the process of the cleaning a getrag so I can paint it. Not a fun job at all

Finished changing the water pump on the 4.9. What a pain in the neck, but at least it is finished now!

redid my wheels on the gold car i'm going to get me some center cap decals like how it came from the factory except in gold since I painted the caps black, also put those Fiero mudflaps that my mom got me like two years ago on.

Tonight I was going to go for a nice drive but a few blocks from my house the battery light came on. I drove it home and put a volt meter on it with the car running. 10.8 Volts. ****! It looks like I will be putting a new alternator on it soon. As if enough of my stuff hasn't had issues lately.

Fiberglassing a new console.

I pulled a late nighter and replaced my alternator. Whoever installed it last time must have done it with the engine out of the car. The main alternator bolt hit the side of the engine bay and would not come out. I had to remove the bracket to get clearance. I also had to remove the dog bone and heat shield at the back of the engine bay so that I could slide it across the back to get the alternator out. There wasn't enough room for me to get it out on the pulley side of the engine.

Everything has been reinstalled and tested. I am back on the road.

Didn't do anything to the GT today BUT I spent the last couple of days playing "Bondoman" with rust on one of the Benzes. Minor stuff but just looking at it was bugging the heck out of me! Primed and ready for paint in the morning!

Replaced both inner and outer dew wipes on both doors today with the NOS strips I purchased from 007Doug several months ago. Also used Mr. Clean magic erasers on the interior door handles and skins; they both look better than they ever have in years!
I'm wasn't in the best mood for this picture because it was hot as hell outside & I ripped my right hand putting it through a hole in the door frame trying to recover a lost screw -- I even found a business card in there!



Next up: Rebuild sunroof, then fix my trunk leak.

I started pulling off the top of my engine so I can drop it and rebuild. Pulled off vavle covers, Heads, intake, all kinds of stuff Think I in over my head lol. Do they sell a good rebuild kit.Thanks Theo

quote Originally posted by Bradley Jay: Next up: Rebuild sunroof, then fix my trunk leak.

That is next on my list also. I pulled then engine so i could install new exhaust manifold gaskets, some had already broken three of the bolt grrr. after working with an easy out for about an hour i finally just drilled them all the way out and retapped to head to all of 10 min. Should have done that to start with. Installed my new ac compressor. Also ported to exhaust manifolds (it really does make a difference in how it runs), installed the rear set of intrax lowering springs that i got from shawnhalolush. Put the motor back in got everything in its place and drove it home. Next i will be installing my front springs, rebuild the hardware on my sunroof and a new exhaust system on monday.

Dusted it off and killed a mosquito on the hood. Otherwise it sat today. Driving it to the way-south side of Chicago tomorrow.

Friday night I finished putting in the TCC and yesterday I went on Woodward and cruised for about 4 hours with no issues with the transmission. I love it when a plan works!

Just gave it a bath....along with the rest of the "fleet!"

It's the mascots' turn next....a lot LESS fun! They decided to go for a swim this morning.

put a new icm in it and changed the oil. it runs a whole lot better now.

Finished fitting the new steering rack, polished up one of the wheels, gave it a quick rinse and walked round it with the video camera a couple of times

Converted the daily driver fiero to 134A and now have COLD A/C!!!

Hate to tell ya, but that Duplicolor is gonna wear off. You might luck out with your humidity levels, but here it's not good and it takes about 3 weeks before needing a re-spray. Good luck...

Just installed the R&D Rodney Dickman getrag repair kit that he sent for testing .
So far so good .
Thanks Mr Dickman .

fixed my brake hose that had fallen against my tire. almost rubbed a hole in but a quick wire tie fix did the trick until i got home to fix it properly.

Installed my rear diffuser

Check out my build!
