My goodness. Please post some pics. The construction side of PFF is starting to put me to How about some side angle pictures of the car (closer this time than before), and meaty pics of the tires.

Clay is an OTR driver and is not home much the next time he is home I am sure he will get some more pic's
Clay is expanding his company and is selling the car to do so. he is asking 16k for it call or pm Clay or me with any questions about it. he has a lot more in it than he is asking.
we will be building him a new one down the road D.
Well, the work continues, slowly but surely. After I got the car back to KY, I took it to my guy and had him order me a brand new 750 Summit Street & Strip, vacuum secondary, as the car just wasn't running right which Dean and Clay both said needed attention so I knew that going into it. While he was getting it ordered and ready to install, I made a little adjustment to the NOS purge which my 12 year old son found "Awesome"..lol. (view video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK93qqrzj4g)
Anyway, Dean and Clay, you'll be glad to know that the new 750 has made this thing run like a totally different car as it did when the first week I drove it. It is INCREDIBLY fast and turns heads everywhere I go.
Next step will be the interior. Fiero Thomas is sending me a CF headliner, boots, and visors. I'll also be pulling the dash soon to get it upholstered. And by soon, that means AFTER I get back from my Myrtle Beach vacation this week! :-)

Are you going to continue with this thread? Or make a new one? Because we will want pictures of your progress!
I really hadn't thought about starting a new one. I guess I could and just link back to this one in the first post on the new thread. What do you think?

I noticed the sig too. I wondered how that car sold so fast. Thought the guy selling was nuts to think he was going to get back what he had put into it.
Every time I see one of your build threads, I want to buy a tent and just go "Man vs. Wild"!! why, you ask...? So I can save every penny I make for like 4-5 years and drop my Fiero off at your shop!!! LOL
Never see any Notchie love though....

Interior upholstery, new gagues, full fresh paint (thinking BMW black pearl), Lotus Esprit style shifter/bezel. Multi camera system, one for rear backup, other for....stuff. Parking sensors, nav....
Think I better Ebay some more stuff so I can do this.
Guess I could do a little update on the status of the car. What was wrong / fixed so far.
------ Stereo stolen (sub, head unit, amp). Almost got killed because the previous owner decided to leave live wires behind the passenger seat. Split second slower me moving my hand away and who knows what would have happened. Sparks actually fused the wire that almost got me to some metal plate behind the seat. Plan to replace the amp and sub but go with a custom Android based 2Din head unit and have some custom work done. Likely a back-up camera in there as well. ------ Was only 2 1/2 quarts of oil left in the car. Did a change and took almost 7 quarts to top off. Glad it didn't cause any damage. ------ Really crap paint job. In process of wet sanding and fixing it up. Why do that to a nice car like this and not spend the time for a proper job is beyond me. ------ Rear hatch glass coming loose. Will have it reset soon. ------ Drives door panel was being held on with 2 plastic plugs. (fixed) ------ Volt Meter, Oil Pressure, and Air/Fuel ratio gauges are all bonkers. New gauges on order. Engine running very rich right now, will get tuned properly. ------ Hood latch was broken. (fixed) ------ Improper cheap battery installed, NOS bottle holder / rail was bent and bolt snapped by whoever swapped the battery. (fixed....mostly)
I'll be having it gone over mechanically soon to make sure everything else is ok just to be certain.
"tonycrouch" no offence, but I honestly have to say you must not have cared about this car. If it's condition says anything it's been really neglected. Very glad I got it now because I don't believe it would have lasted much longer, especially on 2 1/2 quarts of oil.
