You mean the 88 Red GT that except for the scrape on the hood has a beautiful paint job and the nicest tan interior that I have seen in a very long time? Yes. Not sure where it was when you last saw it but is now sitting under the tent in the back yard next to the 88 Black 5 speed GT that I purchased from the original owner and 88 Yellow GT.
Yours is LQQKing Great !!!! Hope your enjoying that new position you landed, miss seeing the Fiero when I pass the bike shop.

Guys, I apologize for not showing. I was thinking about ALL of you! Hope all had an enjoyable time. Unexpected call came in and changed my intent to attend.
Just stumbled on this thread. My name is Mike, I'm 68 years young, and own a second-owner 86SE2M6 (which happends to my my lic #). I live in Fernandina Beach. No major mods yet, although I have replaced the clutch assy. She has 183+K miles on her, but still gives me 32-33 mpg on the road. Just had the dreaded 'Code 32' show up, so more fun tracing that down. Two projects planned for the future. I'd like to get a spare front deck lid and fabricate my own version of an extractor hood. Also, a paint job with Dead Rat Flat Black paint. A local painter showed me a job he did with it, and it's awesome. It looks just like black primer, but has UV protection in it. Also, I'll have a pin-striper I know mask off a Pegasus across the extractor and have that hit with clear coat. That turns the flat black into a deep shiny black.

Hey mike,
I have more hoods than I know what to do with. I wouldn't have a problem donating one to a good cause. I am just south of Hop, in Fleming Island if your up for a ride. I have a ton of other parts as well if you need something. Take a look at my post in the mall, https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum4/HTML/068654.html .
Hop,
I still have that 39k mile motor if your interested.
