Andrew, post a "1984 Fiero ECM Wanted" in the mall. I guarantee you will get lots of inexpensive offers.

I got an offer on one. I'm surprised I didn't get any others. Its from fieroparts and appraisals in Old Orchard Beach Maine.

Try messaging the guy with the "Fiero Bus", I can not think of his screen name right now to save the life of me... maybe someone else can chime in. If not, I will try to dig through past PM's as I have bought a few things from him at very reasonable prices.

I know who you're talking about but I can't think of his name either.

Ok some searching resulted in that it's Matman134. The bus was scraped in February, and I looked through his parts list... no 4cyl ECM's, just a single V6 Auto one

What what? 4cyl ECM for an '84? I have a coupe spare, but keep looking stateside before resorting to importing parts.

If I knew for sure I had one I would send it to you for shipping. Sorry man.

That's OK. Thanks for looking out for me. I have some good news to report. The engine is finally back in the car!!!! That was the easiest part of this whole restore lol. As soon as I can find the trunk key ( my bad ) I'll post pictures. I have moved towards interior now.

It's a good thing you have a friend like me here! I found your key for you. Now go take some pictures! ! ! LOL

I can give your key a try, but not sure if I'll have success lol. Good thing I found her from the dealership originals. Oh and the windshield is in. It looks so good. I took some pics and I'll post them later today.

Wow, that is looking good! I know people that would give a left n........ well would like to have a trunk that rust free!

I got really lucky with her. I didn't know about the trunk corners when I first bought a fiero.... oh but I do now. The corners were starting to rust but I got after that right away. The area under the battery is where its gotten bad. Gotta love rust inhibiting paint.

It looks like I will have to replace the brake lines. When I was trying to thread them into the flex lines the lines were twisting. So I think it would be better just to replace them for security reasons. So the front compartment will be coming apart again.

Check HERE for a possible ECM that you have been looking for.

Thanks for finding this. I sent him a pm to see if he and I could work something out.

Hope it works out. I just happened to see the post and remembered that you were looking for one.

I'm sorry to say I haven't been able to do anything with Juliet since the windshield went in. Work has been keeping me busy and planning for the trip up to Frazee for the Shipman camp out. I'm getting really excited about that.

I was able to run the wiring for the radio equipment and power mirrors. I also have the carpet in the car. Just need to get the dash back on. Then most of the interior will be in.

My steering wheel and ECM arrived in the mail. I also placed an order from the fierostore for their brake lines. So soon that part will be taken care of. I hope by next week I will have it running!!!!

I got a call from the fierostore saying the stainless steel brake lines have been back ordered. They also said it might take 4 to 6 weeks before they get an order in so they can ship them. I hope the clutch line isn't the same.

I have a set of SS Lines I can send you if you can replace them. Not sure how big of a hurry you are in. Just let me know.

Ben

That sounds like a good deal! It would let you get your car back together. Just call The Fiero Store and have them Drop ship yours to Marine1981 when they become available again.

That would be great and it would help me get her running down the road. I really don't want to pull a Fred Flintstone stop. Are they for an 84?

They are for the 84 to 87. Want me to measure and send you pictures?

That's OK. You don't have to measure. I just thought the 84 lines are specific to just that year and 85-87 had different lines.

PM Me your address and I will send them to you.

Ben

I have been packing up because we close on a house at the end of the month. Not sure where I have placed the lines but I know I have them somewhere. Sorry it is taking me so long.

That's OK. Its not going anywhere soon lol. There is still quite a bit left to do, so I don't need the lines right away.

I was able to hook up all the hoses and fill the coolant system today. I was able to put some of the interior back in the car. The new computer is plugged in so hopefully it will start with some fresh gas. Fingers crossed. I felt ambitious so I rebuilt my steering column. It needed a new blinker switch and a new wiper switch. That was such a pain, but a fun challenge non the less.

See! That is one advantage of living in Florida (AKA retirement state). Your blinker switch doesn't need to work. If you leave the blinker on from the time you leave the house, you just blend in with everyone else here LOL!

Sounds like you are making serious progress! When you go to fire it up, have Bryan, Jennifer or someone video you firing up for the first time.

I started work on stripping and refinishing a set of 14" hi-tech rims while waiting for parts to come in. This should be interesting

It's getting just as bad up here. They don't even look sometimes and just move over.
When I get her fired up I'll pop open a bottle of bubbly and celebrate hard!!!

I have some AC parts coming in, so soon I'll have working AC also!! I have done some research for recharging the system and it doesn't seem that hard to do.

For what exactly.... the 11 days a year that it goes above 75 degrees?

I have to maintain the arctic atmosphere so I am acclimated to the winter weather lol.

My stainless steel brake lines came in today. Now to get them on the car and bleed the brakes.

I picked up wiper blades, more coolant, oil, and lots of brake fluid. So the fluids are all ready to go. I'm going to spend all day with the car without distractions. I am bound and determined to get this done before it starts to get cold. I also picked up a slide hammer to get the pesky CV axle out of the 88 so to get her running.

The new lines are installed and the brakes are fully functional. The installation of the lines were not all that bad. A little Fighting and a little bending was required.

I have been giving the 88 some much needed attention, so this one hasn't been touched lately. I hope soon to have a video of her running. The 88 needed a new D/S CV axle, internal transmission parts, and wheel wheels. I also converted the dash to back lit 120mph cluster.
